"I can help you laugh, but I can't take away the tears you've shed." In Mametsubu-cho, a town located somewhere within the ancient Japanese city of Kamakura, Ochibi-san leads a relaxed and easygoing life. Accompanied by his friend Nazeni the dog, Jack the mischievous kitten, and Pankui the hungry dog, Ochibi-san's year in Mametsubu-cho is packed with encounters and fresh discoveries. The seasons bring flower-viewing in spring, swimming in summer, leaf-collecting in autumn, and enjoying delicious food in winter.
