Synopsis
The 26th NHK Yorudora is Risou no Seikatsu, centering on 60 year old Todoriki, who has recently retired from his company. Todoriki starts to give his house the ideal renovation; living together as a happy family after retirement is his dream. However, he's shocked when his son moves out of the house, leaving just Todoriki and his wife. When the two of them are alone, all they do is fight! Todoriki's ideal life is crumbling. This is a sometimes bittersweet, sometimes comical story of a man's struggle to find how to live life after retirement.
