The series follows Hei Gobaku (a former assassin codenamed “Black Ruin”) who has retired to a sleepy countryside town. His neighbor and unlikely guardian is Mama Sachi (the “Moe Mama”), a cheerful middle-aged baker whose kindness hides a terrifying combat prowess. The “tsurezure” element refers to their daily, mundane moments—baking bread, weeding the garden, watching the rain—interrupted by sudden, beautifully animated chaos from Hei’s past.
