You'll be happy!
A slightly heartbreaking, heartwarming fantasy about Billiken, the (strange) god who brings happiness!

Osaka's Tsutenkaku Tower was being considered as a candidate site for the Olympic Games, and as a result, its demolition was being considered. Hoping to make a comeback, the management retrieved the once-popular Billiken statue from storage. The god awoke with the statue and traveled from place to place, bringing blessings that became a renowned blessing, and Tsutenkaku regained its former prosperity. However, due to a trivial matter, the god was kicked out of Tsutenkaku and became a wanderer. Having lost his psychic powers, the god meets elementary school student Seitaro and kind-hearted after-school daycare teacher Tsukino, and tries to return to the Billiken statue, but...
A heartwarming, heartwarming fantasy depicting the exploits of Billiken, the god of good fortune enshrined in Tsutenkaku.
