Kappa no Kaikata

Description

A young man passes a pet shop on his way home and, upon seeing a kappa displayed in the window, decides to buy it on a whim. He brings the creature home and names him Kaatan. Since he has never owned a kappa before, he heavily relies on a book he purchased that covers the basics of raising and training these mythical beings. The book offers several straightforward tips for bringing up a smart and well‑behaved kappa, and everything seems very simple at first glance. However, applying these techniques and making them work in practice proves far more difficult than the book implies. Kaatan initially appears to understand the lessons, but he soon either forgets what he has learned or shows little interest in learning at all. Despite these challenges, the young man remains patient and determined to bond with his unusual pet.
