    Synopsis:

    *Amaama to Inazuma* centers on Kouhei Inuzuka, a teacher navigating single fatherhood after the loss of his wife. He strives to provide a comforting life for his young daughter, Tsumugi, facing challenges in balancing work and culinary skills. An unexpected invitation from student Kotori Iida leads them to her family's restaurant, a place marked by absence and quiet solitude. Through repeated visits and shared meals, Kouhei and Tsumugi forge a connection with Kotori, gradually rebuilding a sense of family within the comforting ritual of cooking together. The series delicately explores themes of grief, nurturing, and the profound emotional significance of home-cooked food in fostering bonds and creating lasting memories. It presents a gentle, observational narrative focused on everyday moments and unspoken affection.
