With Inari, Konkon, Koi Iroha part of the winter 2014 season, there’s always plans for certain titles to figure out a way to promote the manga as well. And nothing works better to draw anime fans to it than to bundle and OVA episode with a release. Such is the case for this title as listings are coming out that the eighth installment of the series, set for June 26th, will have a regular edition and limited edition with an original episode on Blu-ray done by the same team doing the series. The retail solicitations are listing this as the unaired eleventh episode of the series.
Plot Concept: Fushimi Inari has a hopeless crush on her classmate Tanbabashi. One day, while trying to interact with him, she accidentally humiliates him in front of the whole class. He refuses to accept her apologies, and, to make matters worse, she discovers that he probably has a crush on their incredibly cute classmate Sumizome.
She has all these things in mind when she is summoned by Uka-no-Mitama-no-kami, a pale fox goddess. In return for rescuing a little fox-spirit creature before school that day, the goddess offers to grant a single wish of Inari’s. Without thinking, she blurts out that she wants to be Sumizome. As one might expect, this wish does not go nearly as well as Inari had hoped, and the kindly goddess breaks a goddess-rule to give Inari the ability to change herself back. Now, Inari can change her own shape at will, and using her new skill is very tempting as she keeps trying to win Tanbabashi’s heart. But if Inari flaunts her ability, both she and the goddess might end up in trouble with Amaterasu!
