Description
A tanuki who is a bit slow and a mischievous fox share a close friendship, living together on a mountain where their daily adventures unfold. The tanuki is gentle and somewhat absent-minded, often becoming the target of the fox’s playful teasing, while the fox, despite its sly demeanor, shows a protective and slightly jealous side when others interact with its companion. Their small community includes a quiet wolf who gradually warms up to them, a powerful bear who struggles to control its strength, rabbits who live on the moon, and various birds.
The narrative focuses on simple, heartwarming episodes of companionship and gentle humor. Common scenarios involve the fox pulling the tanuki’s stretchy body, the two sharing meals like onigiri and inari sushi, and the group navigating the harmless troubles caused by their distinct personalities. A notable recurring element is the tanuki’s tendency to stretch like mochi when pulled, a trait the fox exploits for fun but which also serves as a visual expression of the character's laid-back nature.
Originally a web manga by Atamoto that gained popularity on social media, the story was adapted into a series of very short web anime episodes. These episodes, each lasting approximately thirty-five seconds, were released online in early 2018. The franchise has since expanded, with a television anime series adaptation announced to premiere in October 2026, commemorating the tenth anniversary of the original manga.
