Summary:

Follow the daily life of Binchou-tan, a chibi-sized girl who lives alone in an isolated, old house in the mountains. While she may be poor (the house she lives in has holes in the roof and is very old, she has an old sheet with a hole in it, and does not own many possessions), Binchou-tan lives life to the fullest. She gets up, gathers what she needs from the nearby fields, and pays for transportation from various animals with seeds, and acorns. Binchou-tan cannot provide things like rice, panties for herself, so whenever she needs something, she travels to the nearby (1930's-style) city to do various jobs in order to earn money or rice. This is the a look at Binchou-tan's life on a day-to-day basis and that of her friends.
