The story takes place in 1940s Tokyo and follows young Totto-Chan, a cheerful and curious child who struggles to adapt to traditional schooling. When her teacher rejects her, her parents enroll her at Tomoe, a unique school where classrooms are set up in old train cars. The school's principal encourages students to explore their creativity and develop their independence—values that become crucial in a changing Japan on the brink of war.
