Ms. Kuroyanagi is Totto-chan. When Totto-chan gets enrolled at a peculiar school, Tomoe Gakuen, after getting listened to by the Headmaster, Sosaku Kobayashi for 4 hours! But, Tomoe isn't the average school. Tomoe Gakuen has railcars for classrooms, and even the learning is not the same. So for 6 year old Totto-chan, it is a dream. From smashing down table tops, to interrupting the class by waving to street musicians (she got expelled from her previous school) Tomoe, doesn't have a fixed schedule, and all the children can learn whatever they want. From meeting new friends, to going on hot-spring vacations, to visiting temples, nothing is normal. Follow Totto-chan on her adventures, not caring about the war raging on. This is a must read!
