Poco’s Udon World Vol. 7

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. 7, Souta’s high school days in Kagawa are depicted. Unable to figure out what he wants to do in the future, he spends his days in agony with his friend Shinobu. Then one day, he gets into an accident and is hospitalized. What is it that he encounters that will change the rest of his life?
