Poco’s Udon World Vol. 10

Souta Tawara is a web designer living in Tokyo who decides to take a break from city life and travels back to his hometown of Kagawa following his father’s death. Once there, he learns that his family’s ramen shop has gone out of business and visits the restaurant to reminisce about his childhood. Upon entering, he discovers a blonde-haired boy sleeping in a cooking pot. However, he is no ordinary boy but rather the rumored shapeshifting Tanuki that lives in Kagawa! Set in the “land of udon” where time moves a little slower, a warm life shared between these two moves forward as Souta recalls his past and his relationship with his father in this heartwarming tale of friendship and family.
In Vol. 10, Souta and Poco go on a parent-child field trip with everyone from nursery school. Pico practices hard in order to perform the Gaogao-chan Gymnastics, but will he be able to pull it off? The seasons change once again, and a new wind begins to blow across the relaxed countryside of Kagawa.
