Description
A 22-year-old woman starts living in her family’s bathtub.
“Humans are too high-strung—”
Medaka Isohara is a girl with a slightly different sensibility from others. She was born small and grew up small, with almost no desires. She has no material desires, no appetite, no interest in romance, and no ambition for the future. If possible, she would prefer to die at twenty…
Supported by her amusing family – a farting father, a mother who has beaten cancer twice, and a mischievous and creative brother – she has lived a fairly enjoyable life. However, when she left home for a job, an incident occurred. Unable to endure her boss’s power harassment, she fell into depression and returned home in just a month.
Seeking refuge, she decided to live in the bathtub, where she felt at ease. She laid down a mattress, packed it with stuffed animals like cushioning, brought in a computer, a small refrigerator, and an electric kettle… Furthermore, with soundproofing and air conditioning installed, the bathroom transformed into a comfortable space.
However, the Isohara family couldn’t stay the same forever…
