Synopsis
Sweet and innocent orphan Man Tou, while optimistic and tough in his own way, often feels lonely deep inside. Without the care of parents, he longs for love more than anyone else. Being ridiculed and bullied by others as the parentless child, he longs for a genuine friendship that is yet to come. Though uncertain where his future lies, Man Tou has faith that keeps on working hard and never stops giving love will find him that place he can call home. (Source: u17)

This show is really good, a true hidden gem. Despite only being 6 to 11 minutes per episode, each episode of this show was very compelling. The show manages to both be heartwarming and make me feel deeply sad for the protagonist Man Tou. It's a very emotional experience. The characters are good, especially Man Tou who manages to always be fun despite his troubled circumstances. The art style is very nice and unique. The character designs are cute and soft, which adds to the emotional storytelling the show is going for. The voice acting is also particularly good for a donghua (Chinese anime). The voice actingsounds pleasant, I don't think it would be a turn-off even for anime fans who are not used to Chinese.
