Plot
One day, as a young boy, Wakana saw Hina dolls created by his grandfather. He was a master of his craft and Wakana decided he wanted to be like him. Since the boy grew up as an orphan, grandfather and grandson were very close friends. Years passed, Wakana learned how to sew various dresses for dolls, but the creation of the head itself did not yield to the persistent guy.

Wakana was embarrassed to tell his classmates about his hobby. He was ashamed of the fact that he loved playing with dolls. But one day his secret broke out, and not to anyone, but to the brightest girl in the class. Marin was surprised that the guy handles the sewing machine easily. And he worried in vain that the girl would laugh. On the contrary, it was exactly what she needed more than anything in the world…
