Sarazanmai (2019)

In the bustling realm of everyday life, three young students - Kazuki Yasaka, Toi Kuji, and Enta Jinai - find their lives twisted into a surreal dance of fate when they encounter Keppi, a Kappa with a royal proclamation and a penchant for mischief. Claiming himself the rightful heir to the mystical Kappa Kingdom, Keppi plucks their shirikodama - a legendary organ housing the very essence of their souls - and thrusts them into an unexpected metamorphosis into kappa. Their only beacon of hope in their newfound amphibious existence is a seemingly impossible task: to retrieve the shirikodama from zombies, lifeless beings thought to be void of souls, and offer them to Keppi. Parallel to this, they must unravel the enigmatic ties binding their own souls, fostering connections that are as deep as they are mysterious. Amidst this chaos, a subplot unfolds. Reo Niboshi and Mabu Akutsu, two enigmatic policemen, harbor their own cryptic intentions within the confines of their police box. The intersection of the boys' journey and the policemen's hidden agenda weaves a tale that is as fantastical as it is compelling, promising a riveting exploration of the human soul and the undisclosed corners of the universe.
