Origin
Japan
Benten is a magical human living in Kyoto. Young, beautiful, and selfish, she only does as she likes and after leaving Yasaburō's teacher, she has taken a liking to him. Despite fearing her, Yasaburō claims he does not resent her for his father's demise and finds himself somehow attracted to her. She mourns the fact that she will have to eat Yasaburō because of her love for him.
The Eccentric Family
Kyoto has been populated by groups of tanuki and tengu for years, living alongside humans who are oblivious to the existence of these creatures. Yasaburou Shimogamo is the third son of an influential tanuki family who spends his carefree days taking care of an old tengu, observing humans through his ability to shapeshift, and dealing with the mysterious woman named Benten. Behind the peace and tranquility, however, is a painful memory from long ago as Yasaburou's father, head of the tanuki community, was killed and eaten by a group of humans known as the Friday Fellows. Uchouten Kazoku follows the trials and tribulations of the Shimogamo brothers as they struggle to avoid their own grisly demise while coming ever closer to unraveling the truth behind their father's death.
