Tamako Market

Tamako Kitashirakawa's life revolves around her family's mochi shop and the familiar faces of the Usagiyama shopping district. Then a proud, talking bird called Dera arrives from a distant island, searching for a bride for his prince, and promptly makes himself comfortable among the rice cakes.

His visit becomes one more commotion in a neighborhood already full of celebrations, friendly quarrels and unspoken feelings. Between school, friends and helping at the shop, Tamako finds that even an ordinary street can bring unexpected encounters.
