Introduction to the Comic "Heisei Tanuki War"
In the Japanese mindset, tanuki (raccoon dogs) are mystical creatures. They can use an illusion-like magic, transforming their bodies into any shape or turning leaves into money to deceive humans. In this story, the Tama New Town underground in Tokyo started a new community construction project, driving the tanuki out of their homes. The tanuki then wanted to revive the ancient magic and use these illusions to scare humans, hoping to halt the project and challenge humanity. They gathered elder tanuki from all around and decided to implement the "No-Ghost Warfare" plan. In the plot, the tanuki moved out at an incredible speed. Before moving out, they transformed into a two-legged walking posture, which viewers would surely find very amusing. In fact, the atmosphere of this work is mainly humorous. Although there are scenes of tanuki being run over by cars, it quickly returns to the main tone.
