Synopsis[]
Sana Kurata, a child actress working primarily in commercials and the series Kodomo no Omocha, for which the series is named, faces many problems in her classroom, including a major one - her bullying classmate, Akito Hayama. Sana's outgoing and friendly nature leads to her work correcting all of the problems around her. Her "meddling" irritates Hayama but at the same time captivates him, just as Hayama's gloomy nature irritates Sana and compels her to change him. As these two opposites attract each other, they face many hardships which bring them to a closer mutual understanding.
