School Babysitters

Ryuuichi Kashima, a teenage survivor of a plane crash, must become guardian to his younger brother Kotarou. He tries to keep things warm and hopeful while shielding Kotarou from the worst of their loss. At their parents' funeral they meet Youko Morinomiya, the stern head of a prestigious academy, who offers a lifeline with a condition. Ryuuichi must work as the school’s babysitter in order to live on campus and enroll Kotarou. To support the teachers, a small babysitters club exists, but it is badly understaffed. Now Ryuuichi juggles care for Kotarou and several toddlers who bring their own chaotic energy to the school. The tone blends gentle humor with real world pressures as the brothers adapt.
