He is Mantaro Makino (Ryunosuke Kamiki), later to become a botanical genius. Mantaro is a frail child with a cheerful disposition. For some reason, he loves plants so much that when he concentrates on them, he loses sight of his surroundings. However, under the watchful eye of his loving mother Hisa (Ryoko Hirosue), his older sister Aya (Yui Sakuma), and his childhood friend Takeo (Jun Shizon), Mantaro grows up in a carefree manner. When Mantaro was six years old, Hisa died of illness, and Mantaro was raised by his grandmother, Taki (Keiko Matsuzaka). Mantaro entered Meikyokan, a school of learning, and although he did not get used to school life at first, he came across a book containing the names of plants and began to study hard because he wanted to "read that book. He then began to absorb Western learning such as English, geography, physics, and astronomy one after another. Mantaro also began to attend elementary school under the new Meiji government, but he left school voluntarily because he felt that the low level of education was not good enough. Thereafter, he spent most of his time collecting plants, which he loved, while helping out in the family business. He moved to Tokyo for the first time to attend an exposition to be held in Ueno, Tokyo. During his travels there, he met naturalists whom he admired and saw rare plants from all over Japan as well as rare plants from overseas. Someday, I will definitely reveal all the plants of Japan!

Like a fish out of water, Mantaro immersed himself in his research, discovering new species one after another and giving them scientific names...
