The Fairy Next to Me·となりの妖精さん
Pikushima is a high school student who happens to be a diminutive fairy, attending classes alongside ordinary teenagers. Her classmate Daimonji has taken on the self-appointed role of Fairy Caretaker, captivated by her small stature and endearing presence. What begins as a lighthearted dynamic built around her cuteness shifts when Daimonji witnesses a side of Pikushima he had not anticipated, encountering the loneliness she carries beneath her petite exterior. The story explores the quiet gap between how others perceive her and what she actually feels, framing the relationship between caretaker and fairy through moments of recognition rather than overt drama.
