Noramimi

In the world of Noramimi, most families have a 'mascot'—a strange, amusing creature that lives with them and acts as a companion for the children until they grow older. Noramimi is one such mascot, but he is an ogre type, which makes him unpopular with kids who prefer cuter alternatives.

Unable to find a family, Noramimi stays at Hello Kids, an agency that arranges placements between mascots and humans. Despite his situation, he holds onto a heartfelt wish: to one day be adopted by a family of his own.
