Poco’s Udon World Vol. 2

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. 2, Poco runs around full of energy every day as Souta watches over him. They eat udon together and talk a walk through the lush greenery of Yashima. Their irreplaceable time passes slowly, and Souta’s sister Rinko and his best friend from grade school Shinobu join in too. What important thing will Souta find in his hometown?
