There aren't many places for a Kappa to live in the city, are there?
About
Once upon a time, they say Kappas lived in this village. They loved cucumbers, were fond of pranks, and would challenge humans to sumo matches. Supposedly, they lived in a pond deep within these woods. They say only children can see them. But lately, even this countryside is filling up with houses, and the forests and trees are gradually disappearing under buildings and concrete. Finally, even this forest is thinning out, and the pond where the Kappas lived is shrinking. Returning to your hometown after a long time, you find it has changed significantly. The forest and pond from your childhood are still there, but they have become much smaller. From within that pond, a Kappa appears, munching on a cucumber. Meeting him again after all this time, the Kappa still looks like a child. His cheeky attitude hasn't changed either. However, with residential development progressing, this forest and pond might vanish entirely. And so, you decide to help the Kappas move. It is a heartwarming slow-life story that feels like returning to childhood.
