Synopsis for My Clueless First Friend

Opposites attract when a cheerful airhead meets the loner of his new class in this heartwarming school comedy series. A lonely and sad fifth grade girl is the target of incessant bullying and teasing from her classmates, until a new boy enters the scene. The likable Takada is as clueless as he is well-intentioned, but somehow possesses the magical ability to start bringing the “Grim Reaper” Nishimura out of his shell. As elementary school students experience all the fun of a childhood summer together – from swimming in the pool to picking sunflowers and watching fireworks – an unusual friendship blossoms.
