Sota Tawara lives and works in Tokyo as a web designer. His family runs an udon shop back home, where he returns upon the death of his father. While back at his hometown, he happens to open a cooking pot only to find a kid who is fast asleep inside.

At first glance, the kid looks like a normal human child. A closer look, however, reveals a raccoon dog that has transformed into a person!

Time goes by slowly in idyllic Kagawa Prefecture, fondly called “Udon Prefecture,” where the slightly awkward duo begins their heartwarming relationship under the same roof.

Poco’s Udon World is an anime adaptation of a manga series by Nodoka Shinomaru, which is being published in Shinchosha’s Monthly Comic @ Bunch magazine since August 2012. The manga currently has seven volumes.

The anime adaptation is being directed by Seiki Takuno, who also directed the popular comedy anime Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches, while Say “I love you.” anime scriptwriter Natsuko Takahashi is handling the series composition of the anime.

Eriko Ito, who worked in titles like Hamatora, Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches and Hanasaku Iroha, handled the show’s character designs, which is being produced by the anime studio Liden Films.

Poco’s Udon World premiere on October 9, airing every Sunday nights at 08:30pm SIN/PH (07:30pm JKT/BKK). Same day as Japan.
