Synopsis:

Kakushigoto explores the delicate balance of a father-daughter relationship strained by a deeply guarded secret. Manga artist Kakushi strives to shield his daughter Hime from the adult nature of his profession, constructing a life built on careful deception. The series follows their everyday interactions as Kakushi navigates a world of elaborate cover stories and frantic precautions, all to maintain the illusion of normalcy for Hime.

As Hime matures, cracks begin to appear in this carefully constructed facade. The narrative examines themes of identity, perception, and the complexities of familial trust. Set against a backdrop of mundane urban life, *Kakushigoto* offers a nuanced portrayal of a father's anxieties and a daughter’s journey toward understanding the world her father has concealed from her. It’s a character-driven story centered on the quiet tension between truth and illusion.
