Banished for lacking a star, Ivy, the weakest tamer, befriends a slime and embarks on a heartwarming journey of survival, proving there's more to her than meets the eye.

📖 SYNOPSIS

Here, your worth is literally measured in stars, and a five-year-old girl named Femicia gets the worst possible result: a Tamer skill with zero stars. Society treats people like her as cursed, and even her own family turns their back on her. So she does the only thing she can — she cuts her hair, takes the name Ivy, and sets off alone toward the royal capital with nothing but the clothes on her back and advice from a kind fortune teller. Along the way, she finds and tames a weak little slime named Sora, and the two of them start figuring out how to survive in a world that's already written them off. This is a 12-episode TV series that's more quiet resilience than power fantasy. The bond between Ivy and Sora carries a lot of the emotional weight, and watching them slowly build a life from literally nothing — picking up trash, scrounging for food, earning small trust — is genuinely satisfying in a low-key way. If you liked the gentle survival vibes of By the Grace of the Gods or the underdog energy of The Rising of the Shield Hero but wanted something softer and more grounded, this fits that niche well. There are echoes of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime too, though the tone here is much more vulnerable and intimate. It's not flashy, but it's warm, and sometimes that's exactly what you need.

✨ MUST WATCH IF...

You want an isekai protagonist who's genuinely weak—not secretly overpowered or hiding abilities
Wholesome bonds between a young girl and her slime companion are your thing
You enjoy slow-burn survival stories focused on resilience rather than flashy combat scenes
Studio Massket's hand-drawn animation style appeals to you over heavy CGI approaches

❌ SKIP IF...

You need fast-paced action—early episodes prioritize world-building and character setup heavily
Standard isekai reincarnation framing feels stale to you, 'cause this doesn't break the mold
You're looking for complex plot twists—this 12-episode season stays pretty straightforward throughout
