Synopsis

The story takes place at Sunflower House, a group home where Uyan and others with intelligence up to the level of kindergarteners live together. One day Aijo Ippon Sensei, a comic artist, together with his daughter Mako with the same level of intelligence as the residents come to live at the group home as an on-site staff. A string of hectic events occurs, bringing together strangers, family and neighbors. Sunflower House where they spend their days full of smiles and tears is like a “fairyland”. And now with Mako joining the crowd, Sunflower House has become ever more rowdy. People with disabilities and those without live together in peace, complementing and supporting one another. But the magical time does not last forever...
