The Fox & Little Tanuki Vol. 05

The Fox & Little Tanuki Vol. 05

Confronted by a dark memory from his past, Senzou loses control of his powers, going into a wild rage. While the wolves and foxes struggle to deal with the dark miasma before it can corrupt the countryside around them, Manpachi and Koyuki team up with an unexpected new friend in an attempt to calm Senzou’s anxious heart. Manpachi is sure their love will reach Senzou… if only they have enough time!

Series overview: Long ago, the gods granted a few animals great powers… but not all those animals used their magical abilities for good! Senzou the Fox Spirit in particular grew too brash and arrogant, abusing his strength until he was imprisoned for his bad behavior.

After 300 years he’s finally been released, but only on one condition — no more powers until he successfully helps a tanuki cub named Manpachi become an assistant to the gods. And so… Senzou the once-great Fox Spirit must now figure out how to be an actually-great babysitter to a mischievous little tanuki or risk being stuck without his powers forever!
