Fortune Favors Lady Nikuko
In a quiet northern Japanese coastal town, Nikuko stands out as a vivacious, merry, disorganized, and passionate lady. As a single parent, she is responsible for raising Kikuko, 11. Kikuko is an extremely thoughtful, quietly curious, and methodical young girl. Like any mother of a preteen, Nikuko embarrasses Kikuko, but Nikuko's fearless nature makes her especially well-known in a place where Kikuko herself wants nothing more than to simply blend in. A devastating revelation from Kikuko's background threatens to uproot their fragile relationship as she navigates the everyday social dramas of middle school, supplemented with flashes of magical realism from her ever-present imagination.
