In the meantime for those unaware of The Wolf Children it is a feature-length-animated-film directed by Mamoru Hosoda that see’s Hana falling in love with a Wolf Man, however after giving birth to his children the Wolf Man’s dies and Hana is left with taking care of the children, from here Hana decides to move to a rural town to continue raising her two wolf children Ame and Yuki.
