Kakushigoto is the story of a father who’s trying his best to hide his job as a mangaka to her young, little daughter. The story revolves around their father-daughter adventures and heart-warming connection between the two. The reason behind why the father doesn’t want her daughter to find out his job? Well, it’s because he draws ecchi manga for a living, thus he’s worried if that fact would alienate her daughter from him.
