Boku N Chi No Tedeibea Sodo

[Machine Translation] At a second-hand store, I fell in love with a tattered and somewhat sad-looking teddy bear, which I picked up from the back of the store and named Horace. When I showed Horace to a famous appraiser at a school event, he wanted to buy him at a very high price! Around the same time, Dad's cleaning company was going under, and Mom, Sis, and Younger Sister were feeling uneasy. My father started to ask me to sell the teddy bears for the family. But I don't want to part with them. But I want to know the true value, so my girlfriend Lou, my best friend Kenny, and I visit a wealthy old man who knows a lot about teddy bears, and for some reason, he gets angry with us. Soon after, a suspicious man breaks into their house...? This is a heart-warming, humorous, and thrilling story about the mystery of an antique bear, a boy's family ties, and his first love! From upper elementary school age and up.
