Volume 1 of Fuyuko Kurosaki's ``Itai no Tai no Sora wo Tobe'' was released today, April 10th.

The story is set in a small nursery school and depicts the struggles of a new nursery teacher, Sunamitsu Araki. Sunamitsu teams up with teacher Rui Taiyo, a ``lovely person'' who loves children, and deals with everyone in the 2-year-old class. Although he is confident in his strength, patience, and physique, he struggles every day with the energetic children. It is currently being serialized in Monthly Comic Beam (KADOKAWA).
