The story

What Is Diary of a Mad Old Man About?

The premise of Diary of a Mad Old Man without spoilers.

Utsugi, a refined 77‑year‑old recovering from a stroke, finds his decaying body at odds with a still raging libido, unwittingly inflamed by the gentle attentions of his daughter‑in‑law Satsuko—a stylish, flamboyant dancer with a shadowy past. Though both pitiful and absurd, he shows no self‑pity, and his diary glows with self‑effacing humor.
