Ookii 1-nensei to Chiisana 2-nensei

First-grader Masaya may be tall, but he is frightened of walking the dark route to school alone. Akio, a smaller yet more confident second-grader, takes his hand and helps him along the way.

When he sees his usually brave friend in tears, Masaya wants to do something for her in return. Setting out alone to find the bellflowers she loves in a distant wood, he discovers a reason to push beyond the fears that normally hold him back.
