Nirako Kawaguchi is the daughter of Kaiji Kawaguchi, the renowned manga artist behind epic war series such as The Silent Service and Aircraft Carrier Ibuki. Growing up in a home where her father spends his days drawing submarines and battleships, Nirako offers a firsthand look at the daily reality of life inside a working manga artist's household. Her mother Akko is a formidable presence who keeps the family grounded, while her two older brothers round out a household that is anything but ordinary. Beyond the immediate family, the cast expands to include the many assistants, editors, and production staff who pass through the Kawaguchi studio, each bringing their own quirks and stories. The narrative unfolds as a series of warm, humorous episodes drawn from real life, covering everything from the financial realities of a bestselling creator and the career trajectories of former assistants who later became stars in their own right, to behind-the-scenes anecdotes about how seminal manga chapters were conceived and completed. The author also recounts the peculiar situations that arise when a famous parent's imagination spills over into everyday family interactions, such as elaborate pranks or overprotective schemes born from a storyteller's love of drama. Over time, the scope broadens to include trips abroad, family milestones, and the quiet rhythms of a home where creativity and commerce constantly intersect. The result is an affectionate, unvarnished record of what it means to be part of a family built around manga-making.
