Synopsis:
The quiet routine of Anytown Elementary is disrupted by the arrival of Tarou Tanaka, a uniquely-formed student who immediately captures the attention of fifth grader Takashi Horimachi. Tanaka’s otherworldly appearance – striking blue skin, luminous eyes, and a single horn among other unusual features – sets him apart from everyone else in the class. Intrigued, Takashi dedicates himself to observing Tarou, a pursuit that quickly evolves into a series of playful interactions.
The narrative unfolds as a lighthearted exploration of friendship and curiosity. Tanaka's penchant for cosmic humor and unconventional pranks creates a dynamic between him and Takashi, gently pushing the boundaries of normalcy within the familiar school setting. The story emphasizes the wonder of encountering the unfamiliar and the bonds forged through shared experiences, all presented with a gentle and observant tone.
