In 1995, Baby & Me received the 40th Shogakukan Manga Award in the shōjo category.

Takuya Enoki loses his mother, Yukako, when she dies in a car accident.

Although Takuya is only a fifth grader, he cooks, cleans, sews, scolds, and does everything that is normally a mother's job.

Between his housework and looking after his baby brother, Takuya begins to feel a helpless gap between his friends who have fun every day after school.

One day, when Takuya picks Minoru up from preschool, he starts to walk faster imagining what it would be like to leave his little brother behind him.

He had a bad reputation, so he ran away from home to another city, and when he came back it turned out that he had married and had a son.
