Synopsis
Opposites attract when a cheerful airhead meets the loner of his new class in this heartwarming school comedy series. A lonely and sad fifth-grade girl is the target of relentless 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 start drawing the '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 unlikely friendship blossoms.
