Synopsis:

Souta Tawara, 30 years old. On a visit to his hometown, he meets a strange child who loves udon and frogs... and has ears and a tail?!

Souta Tawara is a web designer living in Tokyo. Back in his hometown after his father's death, he finds a child sleeping inside an iron pot in the family udon restaurant.

Although ordinary at first glance, it turns out that this little tyke is actually a tanuki in a human disguise!

So begins the tale of a gentle, warm, and slightly weird family in Kagawa prefecture, better known as "Udon prefecture," where time passes at a less hurried pace than in the big city...
