School, home, always lonely protagonist. I was always looking at friendship from a distance. One day, he came up with the idea of creating his own “city” in a vacant lot he found on his way home from school, and began drawing blueprints on the wall. At that moment, a boy approached. The boy begins to imitate the main character, which gradually develops into a fight. What exactly is friendship?

This anime was created for the purpose of environmental education for children. The content is about Goyalina, a piglet who dreams of being a ballerina and always wears a slice of bitter gourd, learning about coral reefs.

The 11th National University Consortium Research Exchange Forum is now accepting participants!

Theme: Inter-University Collaboration and Regional Revitalization Initiatives

Students will focus on the role that universities play in the community, and will learn and consider advanced initiatives to solve various regional issues. As regional issues become more complex and enormous, it is no longer possible for a single university to solve them. By collaborating not only among universities but also among other institutions, a synergistic effect will be created between wisdom and power, and it will be possible to overcome difficult problems and revitalize the region. We look forward to your participation.
