Once upon a time, a long time ago… It is not. In the corner of a certain village where ayakashi and humans coexist, there is a shop that serves meals for ayakashi. The name of this eatery is “Ponpokorin”. In that store, both ayakashi and humans visit it seeking to have a delicious meal. The shop owner is a youko (a mythological fox spirit) taking on a human form. “Everybody can be happy if they can have a delicious meal.” That was the youko’s creed. The youko and its soon-to-be 7-year-old son continue to cook delicious meals to this very day. One day, as the hot summer ended and the harvest of autumn approached, a lone girl enters the youko’s store. From that moment onwards, the story begins. The beginning of a heart-warming story involving ayakashi, humans and delicious meals, starts here.
