Synopsis

Shintaro flees the Gamma organization with a mysterious stone and reaches isolated Papuwa Island. There he meets the astonishingly strong boy Papuwa, his dog Chappy, and talking creatures unlike anything he has encountered before.

The island offers little peace: absurd chores compete with attacks from pursuers determined to recover the stone. Amid the chaos and unexpected friendships, Shintaro begins uncovering the secrets of his strange refuge.
