“In the fall of his first year of junior high school, Arata Kouda encountered a strange thing. In this home comedy, a mysterious creature named “Kujima” brings new life to the Konohda family, where the atmosphere is slightly tense due to the concern for the eldest son, a ronin student who is preparing for the entrance examinations!

Shogakukan also announced the anime adaptation. Konno launched the manga in Shogakukan’s Monthly Shonen Sunday (Gessan) from September 2021 to April 2024, and its final fifth tankobon volume was released in Japan on May 10, 2024.
The story starts when first-year middle school student Arata Kōda meets a mysterious and lanky bird-looking creature in autumn named Kujima. This creature is capable of speech and eating like a human. Hungry and craving Japanese food, Kujima ends up staying with the Kōda family at their house until winter passes and warm spring arrives.
