Published on NHK Domo Manga Desu on-line website. It should be an irregular series but it is not clear if every chapter will feature the same characters or if it will be a series with a general theme but made by multiple one-shots with different protagonists.

Shūhei Wakatsuki, a man who lives and works in Tokyo, decides to take his girlfriend and her son to his old home to see his parents on New Year's Eve. While driving, memories of his father, with whom he had never gotten along, begin to surface. When they arrive at his parents' house, he and his father silently sit down to watch a New Year's TV show together and begin to talk.
