おいべっさんと不思議な母子
A story of a town where the stories of children and parents cross, around a transfer student and an accident
Synopsis
No spoilers
At the start of a new school term, when talk of a ghost spreads among the children, Toranosuke Ishiba, a transfer student with unusual clothes and way of speaking, joins the Grade 6, Class 3 homeroom of Hiroshi Hidaka. Standing out, he sets off a clash with a bully. Meanwhile, Hiroshi's daughter Nanami, a third-year junior high school student, has been shut out by her friends after a traffic accident they were involved in. The relationships that waver in the teacher's classroom and in the parent's home overlap, leading to the mystery of Toranosuke and his mother, and to the events that take place at the town's “Oibessan.”
