How it feels

Two sisters inherit a traditional Japanese restaurant in Tokyo's old downtown after their father dies suddenly. Staff quit one by one leaving only the head chef, and three rough teenage boys show up claiming to be the father's sons. The story follows the wild complications that arise as the sisters try to keep the restaurant going.
