Synopsis:

The series follows Hakumei and Mikochi, two young women living a peaceful existence within a treehouse in a secluded woodland. Their days are filled with simple routines: crafting, exploring the surrounding forest, and venturing to the bustling Tsumiki Marketplace by the sea. Hakumei, a practical carpenter, balances her adventurous spirit with Mikochi’s gentle nature as a tailor, creating a dynamic partnership.

Through their interactions, they forge connections with a diverse cast of miniature inhabitants – from woodland creatures like Iwashi the Weasel to fellow people, including a talented singer and an inventive artisan. The anime offers a contemplative pace, emphasizing the beauty of everyday life within this diminutive world, exploring themes of friendship, self-sufficiency, and finding joy in small moments. It presents a gentle, whimsical portrayal of community and personal growth.
