An elderly couple named Shouzou Saitou and Ine Saitou are happily married for many years. Having a happy old age together and maintaining their precious bond, one morning they wake up and find themselves young again. But inside they remain the same elderly couple, even though their bodies look young, they haven't changed. The story follows the daily life of this couple of grandparents and their challenges in everyday life now that they are young again.
A more than adorable couple of ¿grandparents?

Characters Jiisan Baasan Wakagaeru
This anime has a fairly large number of characters that are presented almost from the first chapter. So it can be a little overwhelming at first:
Saitou Family - Jiisan Baasan Wakagaeru
Shouzo Saitou (Grandfather)
The grandfather, no longer an elderly man, works in the apple orchard with his grandmother and alongside whom he has shared all his life. He doesn't have much special about him but a lot of love for his dear Ine. He never had the opportunity to study so he doesn't know what it is like to finish school, but it never stopped him at any point in his life.
Ine Saitou (Grandmother)
The grandmother of the family, no longer such an elderly woman just like her husband, has a somewhat turbulent past from the time they lived. But those are things of the past and she currently only wants to spend time with her beloved Shouzo.
Yoshiaki Saitou (Son)
Son of the Saitous, not much is known about what he does but he is the father of Mino, he looks after his parents and couldn't believe their rejuvenation until he saw it with his own eyes.
Kaede Saitou (Daughter-in-law (son’s wife))
Yoshiaki's wife and Mino's mother, we only know that she adores handsome idols. A taste that she shares with Mino and which they enjoy together.
Mino Saitou (Granddaughter)
A young high school girl and granddaughter of the Saitous, she is cheerful and loves handsome idols.
The Saitou family continues
If you think we had finished with the family, well no. The Saitous have another son named Takahiro Saitou but we will leave that for you to discover along with his other granddaughter Shiori Saitou who is their other granddaughter.
As you can see it is a quite large and really united family. So all the story created around that their grandparents became young again is something that without a doubt will affect how everything continues in the family.
Opinion and expectations Jiisan Baasan Wakagaeru
A story with fairly gentle touches of humor and a way of playing with feelings quite sweetly. It makes it really charming and brings to light feelings that only an elderly couple could create. Not for nothing do the Saitou Grandparents have 70 years together and know each other perfectly.
But it is not a totally pink story, it has a fairly tense air in some points so prepare that handkerchief. That is likely to bring you more than one tear between laughter, for how beautiful their union is.
