Ecchan

Tokyo, 1935. 10-year-old Yanagi Etsuko is a young girl who loves songs. Her father Kantaro, a struggling lyricist, still cannot forget her late mother, and wastes his life away. Seeing him like this, Etsuko begins a search for her father’s second bride and her new mother. Her first target is her teacher Muraoka Masako. Although Kantaro is bewildered, he is gradually attracted to Masako who is in the same situation as he is. Then one day, he learns that it was his daughter who instigated Masako. The next person who catches Etsuko’s attention is salesgirl Ikebe Kyoko. She is drawn to Kyoko’s simplicity and gradually begins to love her as if she were her own mother. However, at that moment, Kantaro’s elder sister Tsuruyo pursues the subject of an arranged introduction with Kusakabe Kaoru, the incredibly beautiful daughter of a bank owner who is a shareholder of her husband’s company.
