有頂天家族
In Kyoto, humans and supernatural creatures live side-by-side. Soichiro Shimogamo used to be the head of tanuki society, but without warning one day he was made into tanuki stew, and no one knows how it happened. He left four sons behind who all live happily with their mother. What does fate have in store for this strongly bonded family?!
There are humans, tanuki, and tengu living in Kyoto. The tanuki, Yasaburou, had been going to a rundown apartment every day in order to take care of his master, the great tengu, Akadama-sensei. One day, Yasaburou goes to Nyoigatake with his little brother Yashirou in order to find some tsuchinoko...
The day after the rather chaotic night, Yasaburou was watching over the antique shop when the owner suddenly came in and asked him to do a favor. Yasaburou heads over to the Teramachi Shopping District and a mysterious little ramen stand seems to have popped up on the roof of another shop without permission...
One early summer day, Yasaburou goes with his mother to Tanukidani Fudouin Temple to see his grandmother to ask for a medicine that could cure Yajirou's inability to turn back into a tanuki. When he arrives, he finds his mother looking at the stone steps nostalgically.
The tanuki world is abuzz after they hear that Benten had returned and had clashed with the Nidaime. Another thing they were excited about was the Nanzenji Tanuki Shogi Tournament that Yaichirou was trying to bring back. The second brother, Yajirou, had learned shogi from their departed father, and was going to enter the tournament.
Yasaburou manages to get Yaichirou and Gyokuran together, but then a new problem arises. They had still not procured a ship to fly the skies during the Gozan Farewell Bonfire. Yasaburou tells everyone to let him handle it, and heads over to Akadama-sensei's apartment.
Yodogawa was once a member of the Friday Club, but then ends up saving Tousen from becoming a tanuki hot pot. He then creates the Thursday Club to go against the Friday Club. Yasaburou goes to visit him one day and finds out that the Friday Club will be meeting at Arima Hot Springs...
Yasaburou manages to escape Hell and ends up having to participate in a Friday Club banquet along with Benten in Juuroujin's train. Before the banquet, Yasaburou is asked to rid himself of the smell of Hell and he goes to an outdoor bath, where he sees the Friday Club and Professor Yodogawa.
After what happened at Arima Onsen, the Ebisugawas have a funeral for Souun at the Trick Denki Bran factory. Most of the tanuki have no idea what happened and start talking, but then Mother starts talking about what happened when Souun married into the Ebisugawa family.
The Shimogamo brothers and Gyokuran see Yajirou off at Kyoto Station, however their mother was nowhere to be found. Yasaburou is a little disheartened by his brother's departure, but then is met with even more trouble when he finds out that Akadama-sensei refuses to be the observer to see who will be the next Trick Magister.
Before choosing the next Trick Magister, the tanuki go and greet Hesoishi-sama. The feud between Benten and the Nidaime ends somewhat peacefully, but Yasaburou incurs Benten's wrath and goes into hiding once again. Meanwhile, Yajirou travels to Shikoku and goes to meet the Kincho clan, but...
The day that the tanuki in Kyoto pick the Trick Magister has arrived. Yaichirou, Gyoukuran, and the other head tanuki head to Nidaime's mansion. Meanwhile, Tousen gets an emergency message from Yashirou, who's working at the Ebisugawa Trick Denki Brand factory and she quickly heads over to the Ebisugawa power plant.
Yasaburo fights with Jyurojin over who rules the skies of Kyoto and Benten appears. Benten tells him to stop and once all seemed to be lost, the sight that appeared before Yasaburo’s eyes was a mixture of conspiracy and utter chaos. A fun thing is a good thing.
