The narrative follows his journey as he strives to overcome feelings of isolation through persistent kindness and unwavering optimism. Man Tou's hopeful spirit guides him forward, suggesting a quest not just for a place to live, but for a community built on acceptance and affection. The anime explores themes of found family, resilience in the face of hardship, and the enduring power of compassion in building meaningful relationships.

User Wolfgang_B (Score: 8/10):
This show is really good, a true hidden gem. Despite only being 6 to 11 minutes per episode, each episode of this show was very compelling. The show manages to both be heartwarming and make me feel deeply sad for the protagonist Man Tou. It's a very emotional experience. The characters are good, especially Man Tou who manages to always be fun despite his troubled circumstances. The art style is very nice and unique. The character designs are cute and soft, which adds to the emotional storytelling the show is going for. The voice acting is also particularly good for a donghua (Chinese anime). The voice actingsounds pleasant, I don't think it would be a turn-off even for anime fans who are not used to Chinese.
