A kind and endearing series

Well, another tear jerker for those who can watch it with tissues. A story about three girls, two sisters and one niece from another marriage who are very close to each other. Raika, Hina, and Miu. They live as happy as can be in a household where they love their mom and dad dearly. Yet as part of a business venture, both mom and dad decide to celebrate their marriage with a late honeymoon. Now who comes in the picture, but Yuri's (mom) brother Yuta. Who is to take care of the girls while they are gone. Everything is going to plan, Yuri convinces her lazy brother to help her, and comes to their house for the last of the instructions. As with all kids, the three girls hardly know Yuta as their uncle, but decide to give him a chance to make their mom and dad happy. All is well, as both are on trip. Except a bad plane accident had killed both parents on route to their honeymoon. A week later, the existing family members who are at their wake, tries to split up the girls so as to not overwhelm themselves with too much expense. But through all of this, it is Yuta and his brawn of his non thinking ability, decides to raise the girls in his one bedroom apartment against incredible odds. Now with a new home, and a new outlook on life, the girls slowly become adjusted to their new surroundings. Yet I can see where this is going to lead. The youngest of the girls, (Hina 3 yrs) has not been told that her parents are dead, and each one make excuses as to why they haven't come home yet. This is building to something which will rival another series . . . (Rozen Maiden), where a living doll named Hina Ichigo loses her life for a breach of contract with a human. The series episode had gained humongous praise as one of the most powerful episodes to date because of the emotional turmoil the producers gave the home audience. This show however will either ultimately match it, or become something that can be treasured forever when the time comes for Hina to learn of her parents sad demise. Be sure you have a lot of tissues ready for that episode. I guarantee you won't have a dry eye.
