The Eccentric Family

Set against the bustling backdrop of modern Kyoto, the story follows Yasaburou Shimogamo, a mischievous third‑born raccoon‑dog trying to keep his family afloat after his father's mysterious disappearance. Between tending to an elderly tengu, navigating rival raccoon‑dog clans, and befriending a quirky psychic human girl, he juggles everyday chores with the hidden politics of a city where humans, yokai, and spirits coexist.

The series blends gentle humor with heartfelt drama, offering a whimsical slice‑of‑life look at tradition versus change. Its charm lies in the quirky interspecies dynamics, the subtle supernatural undertones, and the protagonist’s earnest quest to uncover the truth behind his father's fate, all wrapped in a warm, slightly off‑beat tone.
