Having broken his arm, Bunji goes to school wearing a cast. "What's that?" "So hard!" "So awesome!" marvel his classmates. Bunji is delighted as he instantly becomes Mr. Popular, but he gets carried away... Mom and the kids have come to a model home with Mrs. Morita and her son. While Mrs. Morita is completely entranced by this perfect dream home with a wooden terrace and vaulted ceilings, Mom calmly tells her... Bunji suddenly says that he wants to be a manga artist. He is completely into it as he sets up a small desk next to Mom's work desk and has Daichi in the role of the assistant. This is a story from when Mom was small. In the early evening, when she was playing in the fields, her mom would call for her, "Dinner Time!" Today's dinner is Mom's favorite fried noodles.

Mom and Grandma need to go to Kochi on urgent business. Dad, Bunji and Fumi are left at home and, with Dad's "Freedom Declaration", enjoy their freedom to the fullest... Mom and Grandma's urgent business was a relative's funeral. The funeral is for the husband of a cousin who Mom hadn't seen in a long time. Funerals in the country side are lively, as people laugh and cry as they reminisce together... While being taken to the airport by Mom's brother and his wife, Mom is shocked by the stories about incredible hardships surrounding childbirth from her normally quiet and ladylike sister-in-law. Bunji and Fumi are enjoying their "Freedom", but the loneliness from Mom being gone worsens...

Mom's assistant, Ai, is having a marriage interview with a good looking, high salaried elite. Mom and the others are super excited and Ai declares she has finally won at life. However... Bunji is invited to Chinatsu's house for dinner. He was lectured by Chinatsu on everything from the gift to bring to how to use a knife and fork, but things don't go right... Bunji comes home making puns left and right as puns have become the popular thing at school. As they come to him, he tries one pun after another on Mom and Ai. In the end, he's even trying them on Mr. Mizunuma. As autumn becomes winter, Mom remembers about when she was young and moving to the city. She had huge hopes, but her worries were even larger. At that time, Mom loved to visit the zoo.

Mom and Fumi are on their way home from having lunch near the train station when Fumi's stomach starts to hurt. Telling her to hold it until they get home, Mom talks about her childhood experience of urgently needing a toilet. While watching "Cinderella", Bunji hits Fumi with simple questions. Fumi's answers are curt. Unconvinced, Bunji extends the topic to a picture book of "Momotaro"... Bunji says he will take his bath by himself. Thinking that maybe he is growing up a little, Mom is impressed, but it seems he isn't warming himself properly. Wondering why, she peeks into the bath one day... Having rushed out to bring in the laundry after a sudden shower, Mom blows her top at Dad, Bunji, and Fumi when they won't help her at all.

Bunji was about to have a riceball for lunch when it tumbled away. He chased it and entered a hole. Inside he found... another world with a group of pinyari festively dancing?! Dad is away on work and Grandma is away on the trip leaving only Mom, Bunji, and Fumi at home. One morning, Bunji and Fumi have caught colds. Mom gives it everything to care for them and do her work, but... Mom is completely exhausted with a cold and is struggling to work. Dad is unwell and bedridden. Grandma is tired from her travels. Bunji and Fumi are truly enjoying the situation... A cool-looking pastry chef in a newly opened cake shop has Fumi in a complete daze. Her friends are very excited hearing "I have decided to marry him!" Now to confess to him!

Taiga is a 6th grade tough guy who the neighborhood elementary students adore. Bunji is completely into him too. After Bunji comes home from playing with Taiga, he speaks and acts like a tough guy. The spirit of relaxed education appears before Mom, who is shouting at Bunji again today. Truth is Bunji can do it and there is a trump card to further motivate him except... Every mom has their own secret attachment to their children. Mom loves the springy feeling of Fumi's stomach and butt, and melts when touching her. Mom and Fumi argue over overcooking ingredients. Bunji jumps in and intervenes while dancing pantless. His appearance really resembles Dad...
