Miki Poyota is a central character, a mother raising two young children, Hyoga and Jura. She navigates both the role of housewife and that of a picture book author working from home. Her daily life involves tending to household duties while pursuing her creative profession, frequently encountering the challenge of balancing these dual responsibilities.

She strives for a gentle and patient approach to parenting but often finds this ideal difficult to maintain, especially amidst the demanding routines of childcare. Her husband, Gendai Poyota, a salaryman, attempts to support her with the children, though his efforts sometimes result in additional frustrations rather than easing her stress. This dynamic underscores their collaborative yet occasionally strained partnership.

Miki experiences the typical joys and struggles of parenting young children, encompassing moments of affection alongside exasperation. Her journey reflects the realities of many parents dealing with unpredictable behaviors and needs. Her identity is further shaped by her professional work as an author, though specifics regarding her published picture books or writing process remain within the established scope of her immediate family life and responsibilities.
