The main character, Atsuko, is your average housewife who believes in frugality.

As if that’s not enough, her husband’s company goes bankrupt, she gets fired from her part-time job, her daughter wishes for a lavish wedding with her fiancé who’s in a heavy metal band, and her big-spending mother-in-law moves in. The family’s savings dwindle by the day.

As the family is hit by one dilemma after another, they struggle and torment themselves in order to overcome adversity.
