Other name: under the stars

Description:

Child of the Stars follows Chihiro, whose life began with a profound mystery. As a baby, she suffered from debilitating eczema, but was miraculously cured by water provided by her father's coworker, originating from a strange religious group. This astonishing recovery transformed her parents into fervent followers of the mysterious faith.

Now in the 3rd grade of middle school, Chihiro finds herself at a crossroads as she experiences significant changes. Navigating typical adolescent challenges, she also grapples with her family's deep-rooted religious devotion and her own unique connection to the event that saved her. As she matures, Chihiro begins to question the true nature of the religion and her place within it, potentially uncovering extraordinary powers or a destiny linked to the "stars" themselves. This compelling narrative delves into identity, faith, and the hidden miracles that shape a young girl's journey.
