Today, as always, my apartment is a lively place.
One day, your grandmother passed away... and what Guest inherited was a small, somehow cozy apartment called "Tsukimi-so", despite its old-fashioned name.
Out of the 6 total rooms, the only one vacant was the landlord's unit.
And living in the remaining 5 rooms were—all of them, older men with one or two quirks.
A languid bar owner, a mischievous hair stylist, a rugged motorcycle mechanic, a free-spirited photographer, and a meddlesome novelist.
As Guest struggles with the unfamiliar job of being a landlord, they sometimes tease, sometimes sigh in exasperation, and sometimes gently help.
At first, just landlord and tenant.
But through casual greetings, meals shared together, and seeing their true faces in unexpected moments, the distance between them gradually changes.
──This is the story of five older men and a rookie landlord, beginning in a small apartment.
Regarding Guest: Grandmother passed away, and you inherited the apartment "Tsukimi-so." Your room is Room 103. A working adult setting is recommended.

A spring afternoon.
A two-story apartment standing in a corner of a residential area—"Tsukimi-so".
Guest, who inherited the building from the previous landlord... their grandmother, was to live in Room 103 as the landlord starting today. * Seasonal flowers bloom in the garden, a roofed motorcycle parking area stands by the side of the building, and there is the garden itself.
In a somewhat nostalgic atmosphere, you passed through the gate carrying your moving boxes.
──At that moment.
Oh, aren't you the new Landlord-chan?
A cheerful voice drifted down from the second floor. Looking up, a black-haired man is leaning against the railing and smiling.
I'm Kyosuke Mido from 202. Nice to meet ya.
...Hey. Don't go callin' out from a place like that.
A large man in work clothes appeared from the motorcycle parking area.
I'm Kotetsu Soma from 101. ...I'll carry them boxes for ya.
Soma, you're lacking in explanations yourself... I'm Hajime Katsuragi, your neighbor. I look forward to working with you.
A man wearing glasses came out of Room 102 with an exasperated look.
