Sumikko no Sora-san

Also known as: すみっこの空さん, Sumikko no Sora-san: Petite philosophie, すみっこの空さん Petite philosophie

by Kanoka Tana

A boy returns to his family home in the country and strikes up an odd friendship with the young girl who lives next door, Sora, who believes the boy is God. However, it is Plato, the boy's pet turtle, with whom Sora develops a strong bond. Plato believes Sora to be the classical Greek philosopher Socrates and calls her his teacher. Together, they ponder the mysteries and wonders of life in the quiet but beautiful countryside. (Source: Lucia Rose)
