Hidari Taisho receives a prophecy from a fortuneteller instructing him to capture 1000 foxes to take control of the nation. To accomplish this task, Akuemon, a widely disliked individual, is enlisted as the fox hunter. The foxes take action by sending a female fox to Akuemon's home disguised as his spouse. What follows is a tale of unexpected love between Akuemon, who has never experienced love, and the female fox who begins to develop true feelings for him, despite the pain of losing her own kin. This is the 6th release in "The Lion Books" series and the first project by visualist Tezuka Makoto, the son of Tezuka, to transform one of his father's originals into an animated manifestation.
