A fluffy, feel-good romance manga for dog lovers! Chiharu enjoys every day with her sweetie of a Rottweiler, who probably weighs as much as she does. Meanwhile, Kiyotaka can’t get enough of his fluffy Pomeranian, who barely comes up to his knees. When these two mismatched pairs chance upon each other at the park, they’re like oil and water. But, after enough chance meetings, could this turn into an unlikely friendship, or something more?
Chiharu’s bold personality in a petite frame strikes a contrast in every way to her scaredy-cat Rottweiler Tsubu-chan—and the same could be said for the sturdy but shy Kiyotaka and his outgoing Pomeranian, Monjuro. Yet, for these inseparable pairs, their long walks together are the highlights of the day. One encounter leads to another, and before long, these two unusual duos find their feelings changing…
With each walk together, Kiyotaka and Chiharu’s friendship slowly deepens into something more. On a close-to-home getaway to a dog-friendly inn in their neighborhood, the two run into yet another mismatched canine-human pair: Oliver and Umeko—The mysterious photographer and his pudgy pug muse. When Chiharu mentions plans to visit Oliver again and pick up photos he took of their dogs, Kiyotaka is flustered… That is, until Chiharu suggests they go together! Could this new encounter be the spark that starts their relationship!?
