Dai-chan, Daisuki.

大ちゃん、だいすき。

Mai is a young girl who shares a close bond with her older brother Dai-chan, who is deaf and has developmental disabilities. Despite being older, Dai-chan depends on Mai for care and affection, often asking her to hold him. Their lives revolve around their loving family, but challenges arise when their mother falls ill.

When the elementary school Mai attends and the special needs school Dai-chan goes to begin interacting, Mai's classmates mock her and draw a cruel caricature of Dai-chan on the blackboard. Hurt and humiliated, Mai struggles with her feelings. At the same time, their mother's worsening health forces the family to consider placing Dai-chan in a care facility. Determined to keep her brother close, Mai fights to take care of him herself, navigating the difficult balance between love, responsibility, and the harsh realities of life.
