A Galaxy Next Door

Ichiro Kuga is suddenly thrust into the role of guardian for his younger siblings after their father passes away. With a tiny inheritance and a brittle freelance life as a manga artist, money and routine become recurring hurdles. A new assistant arrives, bright and unusually capable, and she seems to lift the weight off the household in surprising ways. The office atmosphere shifts as Shiori’s presence hints at talents and forces beyond ordinary life. As the siblings adjust to these changes, their bonds are tested and their small home becomes a stage for comic mishaps, heartfelt moments, and a dash of the fantastical. The show balances humor with warmth while exploring responsibility, ambition, and family resilience.

The series is created by Gigaemon Ichikawa and Gido Amagakure, with a voice cast led by Taku Yashiro, Yuu Wakui, Rina Endou and Maria Naganawa. It released in 2023, blending animation and comedy to tell a family centered story with a quirky twist.
