Other name: 浅田家!, Asadake!, The Asada Family, The Asadas

Description:

The Asadas! introduces Masashi, an aspiring photographer whose unique graduation project — recreating a humorous childhood family moment with his parents and older brother Yukihiro — unexpectedly launches his career. The photo's huge success sparks a series of delightful, staged family portraits, notably one capturing his father’s dream of being a firefighter. This popularity culminates in a critically acclaimed photobook that wins a major award. Inspired by this achievement, Masashi travels throughout Japan, taking family portraits and eventually finding himself in the prefecture of Iwate. After photographing several families there, the devastating Great Tohoku Earthquake strikes. Compelled to act, Masashi returns to Iwate, determined to find the first family he photographed outside his own. Amidst his search, he encounters Ono Yosuke, who is meticulously recovering found photographs in hopes of returning these precious memories to their families. Masashi joins Ono Yosuke, dedicating his photographic skills to a new, profound mission of connection and remembrance in the face of tragedy.
