Under the Kotatsu: Countdown to the New Year, Volume 1: (Light Novel) (Volume 1)

By Robert Tucker

Starting over is never easy...

But for seventeen-year-old Yuto Hashimoto, it's proving to be a legendary disaster.

After a few rough months at his new Tokyo high school, Yuto is desperate for a fresh start. When New Year's Eve arrives, he makes a simple wish in his heart for a better year. He gets exactly what he asked for-but in the form of Kiko, a fledgling goddess who informs him that his 'New Year, New Me' comes with a catch: The Herculean Trials.

With the help from a spunky Calico kitten named CeCe, and his two sisters-the 'reserved' ten-year-old Maki and the brilliantly eccentric Michiho-Yuto's life is about to get a lot more crowded.

Can Yuto out-shop a Japanese deity (one of the Official Seven Gods of Fortune) and tag a rambunctious magical white fox on the tail before the final New Year's bell rings? Or will the chaos of the Ancient Divine World turn his steady future plans into a beautiful, magical mess?

Step under the kotatsu for a fun, energetic Urban Fantasy adventure where starting over is the first step into an amazing journey.
