Miss Caretaker of Sunohara-sou

Miss Caretaker of Sunohara-sou follows Shiina Aki, a boy whose delicate features often lead others to assume he’s a girl, so he moves to Tokyo to start middle school hoping a fresh look at life will change how people see him. In the new city, fate puts him in Sunohara-sou, a small dorm run by the kind caretaker Sunohara Ayaka. She shares the building with four girls from Aki's middle school, each with their own quirks: Yukimoto Yuzu, Yamanashi Sumire, and Kazami Yuri among the student council, and a house full of everyday surprises. What begins as a plan for anonymity becomes a bright and chaotic routine of roommates, pranks, and serious moments as Aki tries to fit in while staying true to himself. Along the way he discovers friendships that test his resolve and remind him that being yourself is what truly matters, not fitting a mold.
