 Read manga
 Details Kippei Katakura is a 17-year-old playboy. He always spends his time chasing girls, careless of their feelings. But when his 5-year-old cousin Yuzuyu comes to live with his family after her mother`s sudden disappearance, Kippei is put in charge of taking care of her. As Kippei gets to know Yuzuyu and starts to understand how she feels, he also begins to realize that all girls were like Yuzuyu once... By Maki Youko (Aishiteruze Baby) Characters Main Characters Kippei Katakura Voiced by: Daisuke Fujita Kippei is quite the easygoing type and had no idea what hit him when he was told to start taking care of Yuzuyu. At his first attempt to make Yuzuyu's lunch he only made an onigiri; an extra-large one. On top of that, the food he gives her is unremarkable, but Yuzuyu eats it because Kippei is the one who cooked it. Over the series his cooking and personality change for the better. He becomes more responsible and becomes Kokoro's boyfriend. At the end of Volume 7, he receives a letter from Yuzuyu. Yuzuyu Sakashita Voiced by: Miyu Tsuzurahara Yuzuyu ("Yuzu" for short) is a bubbly little girl. She tries her best to live without her mother. She is easy to get along with. In the beginning, she tells Satsuki she wants to marry Kippei when she grows up. She is very protective of Kippei but truly only wants him to be happy. During the whole series, Yuzuyu struggles with the absence of her mother and her wish to be with her. This conflicts with her wish to be with Kippei. At the very end of volume 7 we see her as a teenager who had written to Kippei a letter. She loves to draw, and likes corm and shellfish. Kokoro Tokunaga Voiced by: Fumina Hara Kokoro is the soon-to-be girlfriend of Kippei. She is quiet, and rather lonesome as she lost her mother at an early age. This makes it easy for her to sympathize with Yuzuyu. Her father married another woman and thinking Kokoro could fend on her own, rents her a luxurious apartment to live in. The truth is, that is not the case. At the end of Volume 27 she tells her friends that she might be pregnant. Later, she finds out she's not. Kokoro is understanding of Kippei's responsibility to spend most of his time with Yuzuyu. Despite her popularity and Kippei's moron-ness, Kokoro's heart remains loyal to Kippei. Her name means "heart". Misako Katakura Kippei's mother. She is a school crossing guard, among other things. She taught Kippei how to make onigiri (rice-balls). She is the older sister of Aunt Miyako. Reiko Katakura Voiced by: Kumiko Endou Nee-chan (or "Sis" in the English version) is the bold and controlling sister of Kippei. She is a cosmetologist and everyone in Kippei's family follows her orders. Yet there is a secret nee-chan has been keeping to herself: that she can not have any children. She is known for her stylish outfits and nails. Miyako Sakashita Yuzuyu's mother. Her husband had died recently and taking care of Yuzuyu by herself was more than she could handle. She is the younger sister of Misako. Satsuki Katakura Voiced by: Masami Suzuki Satsuki is Kippei's 12-year-old brother. He is 156cm tall. He seems quite emotionless and very smart, as well as weird in a way. He doesn't really like children, but gets along great with Yuzuyu. Satsuki also bears a strong resemblance to his mother. He gets a girlfriend, Ayumi, near the end of the story. Aki Kagami and Mai Motoki Voiced by: Maki Saitou (Aki) and Fuyuka Oura (Mai) Kokoro's friends. They usually show a bitter attitude towards Kippei and don't approve much of Kokoro and Kippei's relationship. Especially Aki. But in reality they just really want what is best for Kokoro. Aki is in love with Shin. Miki Sakashita Voiced by: Mika Itou Miki is Yuzuyu's cousin from her father's side. Volume 4 of the manga is mostly Miki's story. Miki attended a prestigious school. She witnessed her teacher beating up a boy. When she told on her teacher, everything backfired. She was harassed by her peers and teacher but refused to tell her parents. She tried to take Yuzuyu away from the Katakura residence in order to replace herself. In the end, everything is resolved with her and her parents. She appears again in Volume 6. Marika and Ken Voiced by: Aoi Yabusaki (Marika) and Yuutaro Motoshiro (Ken) Yuzuyu's friends from kindergarten. Marika can be quite stuck-up for a five-year-old, therefore, she has a crush on Kippei. Ken can be kind and strong, but they are all good friends. Shin Tabata Voiced by: Makoto Ueki Kippei's friend and classmate. He and Aki have feelings for each other. Nattsu Voiced by: Akiko Kawase A former "girlfriend" (more a "friends with benefits") of Kippei. Nattsu has strong feelings for Kippei and misses the way he was before he became responsible. Aya Oga and Akari Oga Voiced by: Koumi Yoshida (Aya) Akari and Aya are more or less in the same position as Kippei and Yuzuyu -- Aya and Akari's parents work all day forcing Akari to take care of her sister, who is Yuzuyu's classmate and friend. Akari is Kippei's classmate. Akari confiding in Kippei, among other things, results in trouble. Ayumi Kubota Voiced by: Saeko Chiba Ayumi is a girl who is in love with Satsuki. She is a model.
