Description:

"Otousan wa Nido Shinu" opens with Maiko Osawa receiving news that her father died in Hokkaido during a business trip. Her reaction is surprisingly cool; his perpetual absence for work made him feel like a distant relative, not a close family member. Yet, at his funeral, Maiko unearths a startling secret about the man she thought she knew. While the family believed he was an enthusiastic sales boss at a major bakery company, a darker reality emerges. Her father was entangled in heavy debt, and a co-worker harbored a significant grudge against him. The mystery deepens with the arrival of two detectives from Hokkaido, who begin investigating the possibility that his death was not accidental. This compelling story explores the hidden lives within a family and the devastating impact of uncovering unspoken truths.
