This Anime Urban Fantasy isn't my usual "cuppa", but there's something endearing about it....
It's centered on a family of Shape-shifting Tanuki(basically, a Japanese Raccoon)and their lives in modern Kyoto. When the city was built the local non-Human population either shapeshifted or used Illusion to allow them to live side-by-side with the Humans that so outnumber them. The Tanuki have had it the hardest. They're naturally fun-loving and the Human world is very Serious and Orderly. Also, in their Animal form they are sometimes caught like their animal relations and made into Stew...as the family's Father WAS.
A single mother whose husband was eaten by Humans trying to raise 4 sons alone in the big city....
Different, Sweet, Funny........
Cheers,
Pat
