Poco's Udon World contains episodes 1-12 of the anime directed by Seiki Takuno.
Souta Tawara is thirty, unmarried, lives in Tokyo, and is a white-collar worker. But when his father passes away and he returns to the countryside to put the estate in order, Souta is beset by memories of his childhood and the regrets he never gave himself time to think about.
Having lost the country accent, having never learned his father's udon restaurant recipes, Souta questions where his path in life led him. Before things can get too morose however, he discovers a strange child hiding in the wheat bin of his father's old udon shop.
When Souta finds out Poco isn't exactly human, he'll have more to rethink than just life choices! |
