Ascendent Animation describes the anime’s story:
Kozo Yukawa loves hot springs! He’s a hot spring hunter that can sniff out the very source of
them! One day, in an effort to bring notoriety to a small town, he goes out searching for a
secret hot spring, when he slips off a cliff! After perishing in the fall, he is reincarnated into
another world by a fox god. Kozo is not reincarnated alone, and is joined by the messenger
princess of the fox god, Mayudama. Smelling the stinking, rotten egg smell of a nearby hot
spring, he runs to jump in along with Mayudama. That’s when an elf girl appears… who
proceeds to attack them! After resolving their differences, Kozo decides to spread the
knowledge and wonders of hot springs throughout his new world! Encouraging people to take
off their clothes, soak in the hot water, and heal the whole world!
The anime shorts premiered in Japan in January 2024. The AnimeFesta service exclusively streamed an explicit, “steam-less ver.” of the anime.
