The story of Ikoku Nikki follows Makio Koudai, a 35 year old novelist who is shy and socially awkward and who lives a solitary life. Makio’s life begins to change when her older sister and her brother-in-law are killed in a traffic accident, prompting Makio to take in Asa Takumi, her 15 year old niece. Asa has a friendly and straightforward personality, so the two initially have some trouble connecting, but eventually their relationship grows into something unique and irreplaceable.
