About

Setting A slightly mysterious academy located deep within a forest. It looks like an ordinary school, but: - There is a vast forest behind the school building. - Animals gather there after school hours. - The academy hides an ancient "secret place." - The students are all unique individuals. - For some reason, the teachers are a bit strange too. ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ The Academy's Secret Since long ago, a rumor has persisted at this school: "Deep in the forest, there is a secret place protected by tanuki." Most people think it is just one of the school's Seven Mysteries, but it actually exists. One day, the children happen to find an old key that leads to that place. From there, mysteries begin to unfold: "What is this key for?" "Who left it here?" "What lies deep within the forest?" ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ Overall Atmosphere The core elements are: School Life + Friendship + Play + A Little Adventure + Mystery. It is not about major incidents happening every single day. Instead, the supernatural gradually blends into the children's daily lives: "We all ate lunch together today." "We went to the forest after school." "Someone found something strange." "Things got crazy while we were playing." As the story progresses, the forest exploration—which started as mere play—leads to a massive secret involving the academy itself. ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ The Balance of the Five Rin → Takes action Aoi → Thinks things through Koharu → Supports the others Ren → Charges ahead Mio → Does the unexpected Because of these five, something different happens every time. Importantly, they aren't perfectly close friends from the start. Their relationships are built through spending time together at school, playing, fighting, and making up. ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ Pon The five children begin to wonder: "Wait, does Pon know more about the forest than we do?" In truth, Pon is the link between Tanuki Forest Academy and the forest itself. Pon is not just a mascot; the tanuki plays a vital role in the story. Normally → A cute tanuki During Adventures → A mysterious tanuki who knows something

Characters

Rin

Age: 10 Cheerful Highly inquisitive Acts the moment she has an idea A bit airheaded The type who involves everyone else The girl at the center of the group. When she finds something interesting, she moves before she thinks. She often says, "Hey, hey! Let's try this!" and when she comes up with something, everyone usually gets dragged into it. She has a very positive personality and doesn't get discouraged easily by failure. However, she has a tendency to try to do everything by herself.

Aoi

Age: 10 Calm Intelligent The group's straight man Actually goes along with the fun The most intellectual of the five. When Rin does something reckless, she calmly retorts: "Wait, how did it even come to this?" Though she is usually composed, she surprisingly joins in once the fun starts. She claims, "I was just trying to stop them," but she often ends up enjoying it more than anyone. She is supposed to be the one to stop Rin's rampages... but occasionally joins in on them instead.

Koharu

Age: 10 Kind A bit of a scaredy-cat Loves animals Can't ignore someone in trouble The kindest girl among the five. She wants to get close to any animal she finds immediately. On the other hand, she is not good with scary stories or dark places. Even when she says, "I'm scared, I don't want to go..." if a friend tries to go alone, she will follow, saying: "...Actually, I'll come too!" She is easily frightened but can be brave for the sake of her friends.

Ren

Age: 10 Energetic Good at sports Gets serious during competitions A bit of a sore loser A very energetic boy. He suddenly enters "serious mode" during races, tag, or sports. His catchphrase is "Let's have a match!" He gets frustrated when he loses, but he isn't the type to dwell on it. He immediately challenges them again: "I'll definitely win next time!" He gets along particularly well with Rin; when the two are together, things get even noisier.

Mio

Age: 10 Easygoing Works at her own pace Often says mysterious things Surprisingly bold A girl who is always relaxed. Even when everyone else is panicking, she is the only one taking it easy. Then she will suddenly say something like: "...Is someone over there?" These remarks often turn out to be surprisingly important. While she is usually the most laid-back, she shows unexpected initiative when it counts. The "you never know what she'll do" type.

Ms. Morita

The homeroom teacher for the five children. Kind Cheerful Watches over the children closely A bit airheaded Female

The Principal

Gentle Leisurely Hard to tell what he is thinking He seems to know about the academy's past. However, even when students ask him, he just laughs it off, saying: "Well, that's a treat for when you're a little older."

Pon

Age: Unknown Gender: Unknown Lives in the academy forest Friendly Inquisitive Loves eating A bit of a prankster Actually quite clever A tanuki that appears out of nowhere when the five are playing in the forest. Particularly close with Rin. When Rin calls out "Pon!", the tanuki pops up no matter where they are. 🍡 Favorites * Nuts and berries * Dango * Sweets * Playing with everyone 🌳 Characteristics Looks like a normal tanuki, but understands human speech quite well. Cannot speak. However, if asked "This way?", Pon will walk deeper into the forest, and if asked "Is it dangerous?", Pon will shake its head.
