Synopsis
Opposites attract when a cheerful airhead meets the loner in his new class in this heartwarming high school comedy series. A lonely and sad fifth grade girl is the target of incessant bullying and teasing from her classmates, until a new boy enters the scene. The friendly Takada is as clueless as he is well-intentioned, but somehow possesses the magical ability to begin to bring 'Grim Reaper' Nishimura out of his shell. As the elementary school students experience all the fun of a childhood summer together – from swimming in the pool to picking sunflowers and watching fireworks – an unusual friendship blossoms.
