Product Description

Ten-year-old Takuya has a new job: to look after his baby brother Minoru…looks like it’s time to put on the kid gloves!

 

When Takuya's friend Hitoshi finds a strange woman's photo in his father's cookbook, he panics. Could his ultra-feminine dad really be having an affair? But Hitoshi's problems are just beginning, as an innocent dropped handkerchief leads him to a gang of bank robbers, a team of fighting transvestites, a secret code, and more. Before they know it, Takuya and his friends have been kidnapped, and it's up to Hitoshi's dad--with a little help from Minoru--to save the day!
