Kobato.
Plot Summary

The story follows Kobato, a sweet but naïve girl on a mission to collect and fill a bottle with “konpeito”. In order to obtain a konpeito, Kobato must heal a person’s suffering heart.

Despite her eccentricity and air-headedness, Kobato’s sincerity touches the hearts of the people she meets. However, this delightful gift has a penalty – she is not allowed to fall in love with a person she had “fixed”.

Accompanied by a spirit in the form of a dog plushie, Kobato must fill the bottle with konpeito before the four seasons end.
