by Hiroyuki Asada, 191 pagesEven before little Lag Seeing makes it to the Bee Hive in Central Yuusari to present himself for his letter carrier exam, he's already stumbling upon those who need his help to carry their heart to their loved ones. A girl struggling with poverty vows to someday deliver the last letter written by her deceased little brother. And if she has to steal Lag's bridge pass to get to Yuusari and find the recipient, she will. But nothing can stand in the way of Lag's determination to become a Bee and make his hero, Gauche, proud.
Along with his fiercely loyal, self-appointed dingo (assistant) Niche (a strange, super-strong little girl with golden swords for hair and claws for hands) and her willing emergency rations, Steak (he's small, white, fuzzy, and almost all mouth-full-of-sharp-pointy-teeth, but he'd gladly serve himself up grilled for Niche), Lag throws himself into everything he does, leaving a trail of hope and goodwill in his wake. His vast reserves of empathy stand him in good stead in painful situations, but his own little heart takes a hit when he learns a startling truth about his beloved Gauche.
