バツイチで泣き虫なおとなりさん

Reserved and worn down after a marriage that left her self-esteem in pieces, Ochiai moves into a new apartment to start over. Her neighbor Sawatari, a cheerful man slightly younger than her, steps in when a drunk stranger corners her, and the rescue turns into regular conversations across the hall. Sawatari keeps showing up with small kindnesses, and Ochiai, who spent years assuming she deserved none of them, slowly stops flinching away from them.
