What to expect from Grandpa and Grandma Turn Young Again (speculative)

Grandpa and Grandma Turn Young Again episode 1 is expected to introduce viewers to Shozo and Ine, an elderly couple, enjoying a quiet life in Aomori Prefecture. They lead modest lives because they don't have a great deal of wealth. But their lives change when they suddenly turn young again, as suggested in the title.

The anime is expected to be both wholesome and humorous, owing to the weirdness of the transformation of lead characters and the reactions of everyone involved in their lives. Because each manga chapter is fairly short, viewers may expect multiple issues to be combined into a single episode.
