ALDN-426 Tabiji: A Journey for Mother and Child, Kaede Sakuma

A mother who divorced because of her husband’s violence and has a long-lost son comes to a hot spring resort, worn out by daily life.The male employee there turns out to be her long-lost son.At first, the mother does not realize who he is… but partway through, the son reveals his true identity.

The son resents the mother who abandoned him.He says, I can’t see you as my mother anymore. Because you left me, my life was ruined. Even at my age, I still don’t know how to be with a woman. If you want to act like my mother, then teach me what I need to know.The mother apologizes, saying she is a useless mother who can only do that much, and gives herself to him…After a long time, the son is overwhelmed by the experience, and from then on he continues to pressure his mother for a relationship.

Thus begins a troubled mother-and-son relationship.
