Poco's Udon World - S01

Souta Tawara leaves the bustle of Tokyo behind and goes back to his hometown in Kagawa. His parents are gone now, but the house and the family udon shop still remind him of when they were all together. While thinking about his childhood, he steps into the udon restaurant and finds a dirty young boy asleep inside. At first Souta doesn't think much of the chance meeting and gives the boy some food and clothes. Then, to his surprise, the boy suddenly grows a furry pair of ears and a tail. Souta learns that the nameless boy is actually the rumored shapeshifting tanuki that has lived in Kagawa for years. Believing the boy has been lonely, he takes him in and names him Poko. Udon no Kuni no Kiniro Kemari follows the heartwarming bond between Souta and Poko, and as they spend time together, Souta remembers his own past, the place he left for the city, and the relationship he had with his father.
