Udon no Kuni no Kiniro Kemari

Souta Tawara returns from Tokyo to his late parents' home in Kagawa, where the family's udon restaurant now stands silent. Inside, he finds a small child who appears to have nowhere to go. When ears and a tail reveal that the child is actually a shapeshifting tanuki, Souta decides to care for him anyway and calls him Poco.

Looking after Poco brings Souta back into contact with old friends, familiar places and memories of his father. Between unexpected parenting duties and decisions about his own future, he begins to reconsider the hometown he left behind. Their unusual life together gives everyday meals and outings the warmth of a family he thought he had lost.
