About My Clueless First Friend

In short: Fifth grader Nishimura isn’t too proud of her “Grim Reaper” moniker given by her bullying schoolmates, but the new kid loves it. The once lonely target of everyone’s ridicule starts to get out of her shell with the help of her new cheerful yet airheaded ally, Takada.

Beyond that: Together they’ll embark on a sweet and touching quest of summer fun and friendship!
