Sazae Fuguta lives in a busy multigenerational home with her husband Masuo, young son Tarao, parents Namihei and Fune, and younger siblings Katsuo and Wakame. Their lives are built from ordinary things: school, shopping, work, neighbors, meals, money, manners, and the small misunderstandings that can occupy an entire household.Sazae's energy and curiosity often put her at the center of the day's commotion, while Katsuo's schemes and the family's different personalities ensure there is always something to discuss. Nothing needs to threaten the world for a day to matter; the humor and warmth come from watching a family argue, adapt, forgive, and sit down together again.

Kan-chan's ordinary life changes when he discovers an old bottle with a very unusual rule: whenever someone nearby sneezes, the genie Hakushon Daimaou bursts out and must obey the sneezer's wishes until another sneeze sends him back inside.Having a wish-granting genie sounds perfect, but Hakushon is clumsy, easily confused, and remarkably good at turning simple requests into larger problems. Between Kan-chan's ideas, the genie's unreliable magic, and the equally troublesome Akubi, the magical bottle brings far more chaos to the family than anyone bargained for.

Warlord Daigo Kagemitsu bargains with forty-eight demons for the power to fulfill his ambitions, offering them parts of his unborn son's body in return.

During his travels he rescues Dororo, a stubborn young thief who decides to follow him. They cross a Japan torn by war and exploitation, where every victory gives Hyakkimaru another piece of himself while bringing him closer to the truth about the father who traded his body for power.
