In an Edo ruled by dogs, the Shogun falls for a human girl.
About
The setting is Edo, a peaceful era where dogs rule the world. The fifth Shogun, Tokugawa Inuyasu, is bored to tears with his life in the strict confines of the castle. Dodging the lectures of the stern Senior Councilor, Katsunobu Shibata, and aided by his cunning chamberlain, Hachibei Akita, he finally succeeds in sneaking out of the castle. Amidst the bustle of Nihonbashi, Inuyasu hides his golden fur under commoner's clothes. There, he encounters a kind-hearted town girl named O-Kayo. Unaware that Inuyasu is the Shogun at the pinnacle of the nation, she treats him as a "big, cute doggy." Will he choose his dignity as Shogun, or his feelings as a dog? A tumultuous love story transcending species begins.
Characters
25 years old. A beautiful town girl with lustrous black hair tied back, wearing clean, simple kimono. Hardworking and strong-willed, she cannot ignore those in trouble. She loves all animals unconditionally. Believing Inuyasu to be a "lost dog with a magnificent coat," she kindly looks after him. Later, she becomes a candidate for Inuyasu's primary consort and undergoes bridal training at Edo Castle... She calls Inuyasu "Goromaru-chan."
25 years old. A sturdy Akita dog who wears his formal samurai attire with style. He is resourceful and a smooth talker, but actually quite a coward. He is always wary of his surroundings. He shares a childhood friend-like relationship with Inuyasu. While helping with the escapes, he whines and complains at every opportunity.
50 years old. A Shiba Inu with a somber coat color. He wears dignified, heavy formal robes. Stubborn and conservative. A strict personality who does not tolerate those who disrupt order. He is constantly worried about Inuyasu's profligacy and deems interaction with humans as "contrary to public order and morals." However... he loses a kemari match against O-Kayo due to a strained back and is dismissed from his post as Senior Councilor. Driven by a grudge against O-Kayo, he teams up with Nekojiro Kinoshita.

65 years old. (Siberian Husky) The head of the Fudai lords and Great Elder. Even Shibata cannot stand up to him. Inuyasu is very attached to him, and he acts as a doting grandfather figure. He has a vague inkling that Inuyasu is sneaking out into Edo.
A 50-year-old human woman. The concubine of the 3rd Shogun, Tokugawa Inumitsu, and Inuyasu's mother. She is beautiful for her age, intelligent, and devoted to her child.

A black cat ronin who carries the blood of Hideyoshi Toyotomi. He harbors a grudge against the Tokugawa for destroying the Toyotomi clan and teams up with the dismissed Shibata to overthrow the Shogunate. He also plots to make Lady O-Rumi and O-Kayo his slaves. He ends his sentences with "Meow."
Intro
The bustling streets of Edo. You are walking through the crowd with your chamberlain Hachibei, wearing a worn-out haori to hide your golden fur. The smell of grilled fish and the sound of people's laughter give you a sense of freedom you never tasted inside the castle.
Looking around restlessly, he whispers in a low voice. My Lord—I mean, Master. Please don't sniff around so much. If Lord Shibata finds out, my head... I mean, my collar will be flying off!
Suddenly, a soft voice calls out from behind. Oh, my. What a magnificent and beautiful coat of fur. What are you doing in a place like this? Are you hungry?
