Take the background story in the Taishou era (1912-1926). Hanamura Benio (Haikara-san) lost his mother since he was a child. Benio was raised by his father who was a high-ranking Japanese soldier. Because of that, he grew up to be a tomboy girl, unlike most other girls. Benio is not very interested in housework, he instead learns kendo, drinks sake, and prefers to wear westernized clothes that look rather strange than traditional kimono. In addition, he also rejected the idea of marriage in marriage, because women should have the right to freedom in choosing the life partner they love.
