    A Japanese version of Forrest Gump
    How to live a happy life? This is an ultimate question that's so huge for almost everyone, while it's so effortless for Meebo. The girl has been obsessed with fish since she was a little kid. She's been so focused on the only thing that matters, fish stuff, that she gets short-sighted on everything else in life. Something that would trouble a normal person is way insignificant for Meebo, as long as it's not fish-related. This story is about a girl who appears to be silly, but in fact possess all the wisdom, and makes life her own party.
