Oto-chan is a first-grader.
As soon as she wakes up in the morning, her mom says, “Hurry up and eat your breakfast!”
On the way to school, the strict group leader scolds her, “You're too slow!”
During P.E., math class, and even lunch, everything feels frustrating.
“Ugh, I hate everyone!”
One day, while wandering through the forest park, Oto-chan spots an old squirrel strolling along, looking completely at ease. Curious, she follows him…
And there, she finds a sign that reads “Izakaya”, with animals happily drinking together inside.
