What happens

Mama is Just a Fourth Grade Pupil (Japanese: ママは小学4年生, Hepburn: Mama wa Shōgaku Yonensei; "Mama is a 4th Grader") is a Japanese anime television series directed by Shuji Iuchi and produced by Sunrise, Nippon Television and Asatsu. The 51-episode series was first aired from January 10, 1992, through December 25, 1992. In 1993, Mama Is Just a Fourth Grade Pupil won the 24th Seiun Award in the Best Media category, and was ranked at number fifth in the 15th Anime Grand Prix award for Best Anime category. This is a series about time travel. A baby mysteriously time travels from the year 2007 to the year 1992, where it is left in the care of Natsumi Mizuki, a past version of the baby's mother. Natsumi has to take care of her daughter, despite only being a 4th grader. Natsumi's own caretaker, her aunt Izumi Shimamura, is less than enthusiastic about the situation.
