Story
Ordinary high-schooler Sora Kashiwagi is suddenly entrusted with a mummy, sent straight from Egypt from his self-proclaimed "adventurer" father. Reading his father's message of "I found a cool-looking mummy so I decided to entrust it to you!," Sora's hands holding the letter sent to him shake. But when the mummy comes out of the box, it turns out that it's only 12 cm (about 5") tall! To think that his father would send him a mummy that could fit in the palm of his hand....
Not only is it small, but this mummy is a coward and a crybaby, but Sora finds himself taken with the little mummy's cuteness, and decides to take care of this mummy he names "Mi-kun." Just what will occur in the life of high school boy Sora and this teeny tiny mummy living under the same roof?

Sora Kashiwagi
Voice: Mutsumi Tamura Despite being a normal high school boy, he starts living with the little mummy named Mi-kun when his self-proclaimed “adventurer” father sends him in the mail from Egypt. His perception of things seems to differ from normal people—perhaps this is thanks to the influence of his father. |
