Poco's Udon World - S01

Souta Tawara leaves the busy streets of Tokyo and returns to his quiet hometown in Kagawa. Though his parents are gone, the old family udon restaurant brings back memories of when they were all together. Lost in thought, Souta steps inside the restaurant and finds a dirty young boy asleep inside. At first, Souta doesn’t think much of it-he just gives the boy some food and clean clothes. But then, the boy unexpectedly grows furry ears and a tail! Souta realizes this isn’t an ordinary child but a shapeshifting tanuki, a creature said to have lived in Kagawa for years. Feeling sorry for the lonely boy, Souta takes him in and names him Poko. "Udon no Kuni no Kiniro Kemari" follows the gentle bond between Souta and Poko. As they spend time together, Souta reflects on his own childhood, the hometown he left behind, and his complicated relationship with his father.
