Synopsis
- Big round eyes, a sparkling face, a soft and bouncy texture — the character "Hoppe-chan," immensely popular among elementary school girls, is now revived through animation!
- This is a world built on "cuteness" — the Sun Kingdom.
- "Iwao Hoppe-chan" is a Hoppe-chan who suddenly appeared in this place, having lost her memory and become "lost."
- Meanwhile, in the real world, office worker Ayumi is gradually losing her sense of self-worth in her daily work and life, about to become a "lost person" in life.
- When certain things pass each other by at a crossroads, two stories quietly begin to unfold —
- Behind the scenes of the Sun Kingdom, the Poison Hoppe-chan are creating a "Land of Un-cuteness," and the "Guardian Team" fighting to protect the kingdom welcomes Iwao Hoppe-chan into their ranks...
- A parallel world fantasy comedy centered on the revival of the Sun Kingdom begins!
