Summary
Caviar Boy is a fantastical tale of a fish who briefly dwells in the human world to repay a debt of gratitude.
Once living freely in the sea, he reappears in the form of a beautiful young boy to thank the human who set him free, and begins working at a seafood restaurant.
Yet, in that very restaurant where fellow sea creatures are cooked and served each day, he suffers deeply, his face and body slowly turning a pale shade of pink.
Bound by the destiny of eventually returning to the ocean, he embodies a story that explores universal themes of gratitude, farewell, freedom, and the indifference of humankind. Blurring the lines between animation and fairy tale, this work unfolds as a tender and haunting narrative.

Storythinking Lab
"Little beings, deep reflections."
Storythinking Lab heal the world through stories of small, wounded souls. Storythinking Lab is a content studio dedicated to the belief that healing stories can change the world. We create and develop narratives centered on identity, loss, isolation, healing, and reconnection—offering deep emotional resonance and public-minded value.
We don't stop at single works. Our goal is to create sustainable, expandable story IPs that can live and grow across animation, publishing, merchandise, and educational content. Our OSMU (One Source Multi Use) strategy turns stories into experiences, messages into movements.
At the heart of our creative vision lies our “Healing Trilogy”:
Oy
— A misunderstood cucumber who sacrifices herself to heal the world in a quiet act of love.
Albert
— A duckling who grows up questioning his identity, navigating trauma, and seeking his true self.
Caviar Boy
— A fish who endures suffering while working in a fine seafood restaurant to repay the fisherman who once spared him—quietly confronting a society that ignores its own moral blindness.
These three stories go beyond entertainment. They are quiet but powerful reflections on dignity, empathy, and our forgotten ethics.
Storythinking Lab build sustainable story IPs that aim to change the world through empathy. We continues to create, grow, and evolve IP-based narratives that offer healing, insight, and artistic beauty—building a more compassionate world, one story at a time.
