About
A star fell to Earth. And so a star boy appeared on our planet. He was agile and clever, but cruel and cold. Even his mother, who had been searching for him for years and therefore showed up in the rags of a beggar, he had pushed him away and hurt him. But fate gave him a chance to correct his mistakes.
