The first volume of the paper version of Yurie Ono's ``Love and childcare are too difficult for Yankees'', originally written by Hikari Adachihara, was released today, February 26th.

Natsuon Aoki, a Yankee high school student, ends up living with her mother and Kotori, the child of her older brother who died in an accident. Kotori, who grew fond of Natsune because she resembles his older brother, is full of energy and unpredictable, even though he is still dealing with the shock of losing his father. Natsune begins to think that being swayed by Kotori every day isn't so bad, and she suddenly becomes close to Kanau Nanjo, a classmate of hers whose younger brother is enrolled in Kotori's kindergarten... This is a sitcom in which Natsuki spends her days busy with love and raising children.
