Koganemaru the tanuki ventures into the city, hoping to recruit humans to live on his mountain. “Hey, why don’t you become a tanuki?” A tired office worker, a host with a bad personality, a bully struggling with his parents—countless people burdened by life’s problems. When they hit rock bottom, he offers a chance: “Maybe you’ll recognize what’s important if you become a tanuki.” This heartwarming story about transformation reminds readers what truly matters.
