this is called “Amaama to Inazuma” or “Sweetness and Lightning”
it is about a dad who is a school teacher and is trying to raise his daughter after his wife dies. one of the main things is he usually just buys her already made meals, but one of his students show’s him her mom’s restaurant and encourages him to learn how to cook

Apparently the daughter, Tsumugi’s, voice actress is only 11 and it’s just such a pure anime.

Happy Halloween from our little sea monster! The animal training department let us borrow their festive decorations, and it was kind of the greatest thing in the whole entire world. Still not sure if this was more enriching for the octopus or the aquarists!!

Name: Ula
Age: ???
Race: Nereid - Mimic Octopus
Height: 5'7"
Info: Ula is a young sea witch, actively practicing and experimenting on whatever and whoever she wants to in her immediate vicinity. Sometimes her hexes have fantastic outcomes for whoever her magic’s woven into, but the majority of the time whatever positive comes out of it is overshadowed by a horrifyingly bad turn of events. The prices she charges for ‘helping’ others are also often completely absurd, whether that’s made evident at the time the contract is made or not (more often not). Her glaring flaw in personality, and by that I mean the one that actively adversely effects HER, is her startling laziness. She has her sidekicks/pets, Una and Gen do most of her errands for her. A great deal of the contracts she makes are just tricking people into doing things for her that she doesn’t want to do herself. Even /moving/ is too bothersome for her sometimes, opting instead to sort’ve spider herself around with her tentacles rather than just walking.-Each of her tentacles are eight feet long
-Mostly wears a combination of late 80s/early 90s goth & pop clothing
-Can mimic other body proportions and people physically, but can’t change her basic skin colors without the use of her magic.
-In no sense of the word get along with her fellow octo-nereid Ziri
