Hinokio: Inter Galactic Love (2005)

Satoru, an elementary student confined to a wheelchair, isolates himself following the death of his mother. To help him reconnect with the world, his father invents a remote-controlled robot that attends school in his place. This innovative device enables Satoru to engage with classmates and experience a semblance of normalcy, bridging the gap between his physical limitations and his desire for social interaction. As he navigates this new arrangement, Satoru learns valuable lessons about connection, love, and the complexities of human emotions.
