Synopsis

Fushi was the first “sphere” thrown into the world.

From a sphere, he turns into first a rock, then a wolf, and then a young boy. He wanders around the world like a child, not knowing anything. Along the way, he meets all kinds of people who teach him how to live, and soon he grows into being able to imitate human existence. The story follows him on his eternal journey to learn about the world and those who inhabit it as he endures hardships and chooses his own way to live.
