Kabita Mikan no Santa Claus
A small, forgotten mandarin orange sits alone in a fruit basket, slowly growing moldy as the days pass. It watches the other fruits being taken away one by one, each finding a purpose or a home, while it remains untouched and unwanted. The little orange dreams of becoming a Christmas gift, hoping to bring joy to someone before it is too late.
As Christmas Eve approaches, the moldy mandarin decides to take matters into its own hands. It embarks on a quiet journey through the snowy town, determined to deliver itself as a present. Along the way, it encounters various obstacles and moments of doubt, but its unwavering wish to be a Santa Claus for someone keeps it going.
