Kotoden

Souta is freaked out by his encounter with a shape-shifting tanuki, but how could anyone leave such a lonely-seeming little thing to fend for itself? He offers the hungry crybaby some shoyumame to eat, and a bath to boot. After that, Souta decides to take the kid into town via the Kotoden train line for some much-needed clothes shopping. There he runs into his first love, Manabe-san, now the mother of two young children, and coincidentally enough, she has her own little ones in tow, too. Caught off guard, Souta introduces the tiny tanuki by the first name that pops into his head: “Poco.”

化け狸に出会ってしまった。怯える宗太だったが、寂しそうにしているタヌキの子供を放ってはおけなかった。腹ペコで泣き虫なその子にしょうゆ豆をあげて、さらに身体を洗ってあげた。それから宗太はその子を連れ、琴電に乗って街へ服を買いに行くことにした。その街中で偶然にも初恋の人──真鍋さんと再会する。彼女は二児の母、そして自分もなぜか子連れ。動揺しつつ宗太はとっさにタヌキの子を「ポコ」と紹介してしまうのだった。

둔갑 너구리의 정체를 알게 된 소타. 그러나 혼자 쓸쓸히 있는 너구리를 내버려둘 수 없었다. 배를 주리던 너구리에게 간장콩을 먹이고 목욕을 시킨다. 그리고 시내에 옷을 사러 가는데, 그곳에서 우연히 첫사랑 마나베를 만나…

Souta ainda não sente à vontade, após a descoberta do Tanuki, porém uma surpresa inesperada faz com que ele e Poco acabem se conhecendo melhor enquanto ele se lembra de diversas recordações da sua cidade natal.
