Opposites attract when a cheerful guy meets the resident of his new class in this heartwarming slice-of-life school comedy series!
A lonely, brooding fifth-grade girl is the target of relentless bullying and teasing by her classmates—i.e. until a new kid appears on the scene. The affable Takada is as helpless as he is well-intentioned, but somehow he possesses the magical ability to begin bringing the Grim Reaper Nishimura out of her shell. As the elementary school students experience all the fun of a childhood summer together, from going to the pool to picking sunflowers to watching fireworks – an unusual friendship blossoms!
