The Plot of Makoto Isshiki’s 13-nichi ni wa Hana wo Kazatte
Naō Matsudaira, a live-in helper, is the focus of the narrative. She is an employee of the Murano family, consisting of the printing shop owner, the widowed master of the house, his four sons, and also their grandmother. The family pays a visit to the graves of their late mother and wife on the thirteenth day of each month. However, on one of these visits to the grave, Matsudaira encounters a trembling cat.
The upcoming serialized manga’s plot will presumably coincide with Makoto Isshiki’s one-shot manga after Shogakukan teased, “What color will the passing of time bring?”
