Description

The equally ordinary and surreal life of the Haruno family can be described like this: grandfather Akira holds the tuning fork to his head at breakfast and then sings the note he heard. After breakfast, he strikes poses for mother Yoshiko, who works for an animation studio from home most of the time. Father Nobuo has his hands full as a psychologist in the next town over, which is why he often doesn’t get home until late in the evening. The youngest daughter Sachiko struggles with the fact that an oversized copy of herself seems to follow her everywhere. It doesn’t help that her uncle, who has left the big city life, tells ghost stories from his youth in front of the family: As a small boy, he found a huge egg in the middle of the forest. But he urgently had to poop, which he did directly on top of the egg! Afterwards, the tattooed ghost of a bleeding warrior pursued him permanently, and only one thing did finally help him at that time. Of course, little Sachiko takes this story to heart …

In other news, something fundamental has just changed for the son Hajime. The girl he was secretly in love with has moved far away to another prefecture, without him ever having exchanged a word with her, let alone having confessed his feelings to her. Soon, however, a new opportunity arises: the new classmate Aoi is interested in Go, just as Hajime is. Thus, a new chapter in his life begins.
Das ebenso normale wie surreale Leben der Familie Haruno läuft in etwa wie folgt ab: Großvater Akira hält sich beim Frühstück die Stimmgabel an den Kopf und singt den Ton nach, woraufhin er Posen für die Mutter Yoshiko entwirft, die für ein Animestudio meist von zu Hause aus arbeitet. Vater Nobuo hat als Psychologe in der nächsten Kleinstadt alle Hände voll zu tun, weshalb er häufig erst spät am Abend wieder zu Hause ist. Die kleine Tochter Sachiko hat damit zu kämpfen, dass ihr eine übergroße Kopie ihrer selbst überallhin zu folgen scheint. Es hilft natürlich nicht wirklich, dass ihr aus dem Großstadtleben ausgestiegener Onkel vor der Familie Geistergeschichten aus seiner Jugend erzählt: Er hätte damals ein riesiges Ei mitten im Wald gefunden, musste aber dringend sein großes Geschäft verrichten, was er dann direkt auf das Ei erledigte! Woraufhin ihn der tätowierte Geist eines blutenden Kriegers verfolgte, und nur eine Sache hätte ihm damals geholfen …

Für den Sohn Hajime hat sich allerdings gerade etwas Grundlegendes geändert: Das Mädchen, in das er heimlich verliebt war, ist weit weg in eine andere Präfektur gezogen, ohne dass er jemals überhaupt nur ein Wort mit ihr gewechselt, geschweige denn seine Gefühle gestanden hätte. Bald aber ergibt sich eine neue Gelegenheit: Die neue Mitschülerin namens Aoi interessiert sich für Go, genau wie Hajime auch, und so beginnt zumindest erst einmal für ihn ein neuer Lebensabschnitt.
