"After 300 years, the gods that imprisoned Senzou the Fox Spirit for his arrogance finally set him free. There is only one condition - he can't have any of his supernatural abilities back until he successfully helps a tanuki cub named Manpachi become one of their magical assistants. Unfortunately for Senzou, there's no cheating when it comes to completing his task! The magic beads around his neck make sure he can't wander too far from his charge or shirk his duties, and so... Senzou the once-great Fox Spirit must now figure out how to be an actually-great babysitter to a mischievous little tanuki or risk being stuck without his powers forever!... Senzou and Manpachi are still working toward their goal of making Manpachi into a servant for the gods when they stumble onto a wolf who needs their help finding... a kitten? Wolves and cats aren't usually friends, but some bonds are strong enough to break boundaries, and Senzou and Manpachi are just the mismatched pair to help!"--Provided by publisher.
