Poco's Udon World

うどんの国の金色毛鞠

Souta Tawara, a web designer who left Kagawa for Tokyo, returns to his late father's shuttered udon shop and finds a small blond child asleep in one of the cooking pots. The boy turns out to be a shape-shifting tanuki, whom Souta names Poco and takes in. Raising the orphaned creature pulls Souta back into the hometown he left behind and into long-unsettled memories of the father he lost.
