Marina is a junior primary student who fears two things—eating greens and crossing the "Fear'a Bridge"—to such an extent that she dreams repeatedly of being forced to face her anxieties. She shuns vegetables at all costs, and rises early so she and her buddy Momo can detour to avoid the bridge.
One day, Momo acquires a pup that cannot be walked on the busy avenue they usually use, and Momo crosses the bridge, leaving Marina to head to school alone. That same day, Marina"s teacher announces a target for the class: stop leaving food on their plates during lunch, and she must consume all three of her most disliked foods: carrots, peppers, and milk.
After fainting from the shock of eating the veggies, she wakes in the nurse"s office to three food spirits named Ninninman, Piiman, and Milk. The spirits, playful yet wise, offer her guidance and a plan to face each fear. With the aid of these odd beings, can Marina conquer her fears?
