Summary
The series takes place in the fictional country of Numberland, centered in a school taught by the teacher Aristotle and his assistant Infinite. The students consist of ten living numbers from zero till nine, each with different personalities. The characters are mute and only communicate in vocal noises and body language. Throughout the episode, every night, Aristotle would narrate the day's events in a flashback, with moments of counting quantities corresponding to the number characters. However, in the movies, the characters have full speech.
