- Introduction
- These are two-page reconstructions of one-page comics, focusing on 'everyday conversations' between a seemingly cool daughter who truly adores her father and her affectionate dad. The father is usually the one who gets emotional, while the daughter's expression stays mostly unchanged. Enjoy reading this with that in mind. The white speech bubbles are the daughter's lines, and the slightly gray ones are the father's. It's the father who gets sappy. Enjoy this 'father and daughter daily life.'

- ...Dad, I’m heading out.
- Another hangover? You were out late again last night, huh?
- Ugh... I-I'm sorry...
- You should really stop going out for every work-related social event.
- Okay, Dad? You're not as young as you think you are anymore.
- Y-yeah, you're right...
Page 7
- If getting up is hard, don't worry about seeing me off. Just stay in bed.
- Oh, and there's porridge ready, so when you feel like eating, just warm it up with some miso soup.
- O-okay...

- ...About your laundry, Dad...
- I told you not to just throw it in the washing machine...
- I did say that, right?
- Oh... you don't want it washed with everything else, huh...
- It's that age, I guess... hmm...
Page 11
- ...This shirt of yours is really expensive, right? So...
- You need to put it in a laundry net and wash it carefully, okay?
- Whaaat? That's why? Ah, I'm sorry...

- Everyday life of a father and daughter.
Page 14
- Welcome home... Dad.
- I-I'm home...
- ...Wait, you're still up? I messaged you that I'd be late from overtime, so you should've gone to bed early.
- ...Even if you hadn't said, I'm about to sleep now...
Page 15
- Ah, tonight's dinner is 'mushroom cream pasta'...
- Huh?
- It's just finished boiling, so put the sauce on and eat it soon.
- Huh? N-now? It's just boiled...?
- Pasta isn't good unless it's freshly boiled...
- Goodnight then.

- Dad.
- I've decided to get a part-time job, so I need you to sign this consent form.
- I can't tell you the reason.
- Huh? You can't tell me why... but you have enough allowance, right?
- Could it be... for a boyfriend or something...?
Page 19
- You... you need to tell me the reason!
- Can I say it?
- It's because your birthday is coming up... I wanted to surprise you with a gift bought with my own earnings.
- What?
- Am I an idiot?

- Dad, have you been cleaning your room lately?
- Well, I've been quite busy, so...
- You need to vacuum and ventilate properly, or the mold and dust will affect your health.
- ...But I won't clean your room, ever.
- Huh?
Page 23
- Because...
- I respect your privacy, so I won't go into your room without permission.
- There might be things you don't want me to see.
- Ah, thank you...
- I-I'll go clean it up...

Page 26
- Recently, smoking rates have been decreasing, but smoking is still recognized as a health issue. It poses risks for cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and respiratory diseases...
- ...Did you ever smoke, Dad?
- Why did you stop?
- Ah, I smoked until before I got married.
- When I found out you were coming into the world...
Page 27
- I thought, 'How could I become a threat to the precious life I need to protect?'
- So I quit...
- ...That means you ended up protecting your own health too.
- Yeah, you're right...
- I'm happier about that, honestly.

- Is it hard to get a driver's license?
- Hmm? You'll be fine.
- Both the written and practical exams.
- Then I want to get it soon.
- Huh?
Page 31
- ...Do you have someone you want to go on a drive with?
- Because...
- If something happens to you, I want to be able to take you to the hospital right away.
- ...That's considerate of you, but...
- Let's just go on normal drives together...

- Father's Day seems to get less attention even in supermarkets.
- Well, compared to Mother's Day, yeah.
- They have carnations and other standard gifts for that.
- But there isn't anything like that for Father's Day.
- ...It doesn't need to be standardized.
- Why not?
Page 35
- Because for Father's Day...
- I enjoy choosing the 'ultimate gift' after much deliberation.
- It's fun to decide on my own.
- ...I appreciate that, but you can make it easier on yourself...

- Dad, one of your dress shirt's adjustable cufflinks is coming loose.
- Take it off so I can fix it.
- N-no, I don't have time and I'm not using that one.
- Look, it gets hidden under the jacket, so it's fine, fine.
Page 39
- No one notices something like that...
- I notice, so...
- Take it off.
- Y-yes...

Page 42
- I win again.
- Darn, these newer games are tough at 30...
- Hmm...
- ...Your reflexes, vision, and judgment are...
- That's not true!
Page 43
- ...Then old games are fine, too.
- Alright! I won’t lose in classic fighting or puzzle games!
- ...Wait, why am I losing...?
- Bring it on!
- I used to be so good at these...
- Dad...

Page 46
- Dad, do you want to read this manga next?
- This one is really funny too!
- Ah, I really want to read it, but...
- I've been reading tiny text at work today, so my eyes are tired. I'll save it for tomorrow.
- Oh, I see...
Page 47
- ...then how about...
- I read it to you?
- N-no, that's okay...?

- Huh? You're going on a two-night business trip to Tokyo next week?
- Well, I guess it can't be helped...
- Yeah, it was decided suddenly...
- And well...
- ...I managed to get a cheap deal on the flight and hotel package.
- Wow, that was quick! Thanks... let's see...
Page 51
- ...wait, the hotel has a twin room...?
- I have a day off from school that day.
- What?
- It's really a day off, and it's a long weekend.
- I applied for permission to take you along, saying I can't leave my teenage daughter alone... and the company kindly agreed. What a great company!

- Tonight's dinner is twice-cooked pork!
- ...though it's just mixed with store-bought sauce...
- Sorry for cutting corners...
- ...cutting corners?
- Cooking is done in turns in this household.
- Ah, no...
Page 55
- That's not right, is it?
- You properly cut and stir-fried the veggies and meat.
- The way you cooked the veggies and meat was perfect.
- That was thanks to your help at the end, you know?
- Ah, thank you... my advocate...

Page 58
- Dad, you always drink your coffee black...
- When did you start drinking it that way?
- Ah, I think it was around my second year of middle school.
- Were you trying to look cool?
Page 59
- Haha, yeah, I guess so.
- I kept drinking it even though it was bitter to look cool.
- I learned that sometimes trying to act cool helps you understand things.
- But eventually, I started to appreciate the aroma and depth...
- That's why your coolness just shines through, huh?
- Huh...? Oh, thank you...

Page 62
- ...Dad, can I ask something?
- Huh?
- Y-yeah...
- W-what's with the sudden seriousness...?
Page 63
- ...
- The results of your health checkup came, right?
- Bring them here without hiding anything.
- Y-yes...
- Busted!

Page 66
- Huh? You had curry for lunch today?
- ...I'm cutting ingredients for beef curry...
- S-sorry, I completely forgot we were having curry today...
- But, I'm fine with having curry for dinner too...
Page 67
- ...then I'll switch to making "Nikujaga" (meat and potato stew).
- The ingredients are the same.
- What?
- I can use it for my lunchbox tomorrow too.
- ...You're so resourceful, thank you...

Page 70
- So, Dad, about that—
- Hm? You got a message.
- Terrari-lin.
- Aren't you going to check it?
- Terrari-lin,
- It's fine.
Page 71
- It's from a friend, right? It could be important...
- ...Right now...
- There's nothing more important than talking with you, Dad.
- Terrari-lin,
Page 72

Page 74
- Okay, Dad, I'm off.
- Take care, have a good day.
- You should relax too, it's your day off.
- Ah, thank you, I'll do just that.
Page 75
- Oh,
- It's a chance to look at things you don't want me to see, right?
- W-what? Ahem, ahem!
Page 76

Page 78
- Dad?
- Dad?
- Mmm, mmm...
- Mmm... what...?
Page 79
- You were sleeping, right? The TV is still on.
- N-no, I wasn't asleep! I was watching!
- Oh really? Then tell me what happened.
- I know you're tired, but you should sleep in bed.
- S-sorry, I was sleeping!
- It's recorded, so let's watch it together tomorrow.
- ...Okay... goodnight.

Page 83
- Welcome home, Dad.
- We're doing a maid café for the school festival.
- My friend helped me try on the outfit.
- Does it suit me?
- Ah, yes, of course.
- Sorry for intruding!
- What? No way!
- Maybe I'll wear it at home sometimes.
- Haha, your dad's embarrassed!
