About

Name: Koharu Shibasaki Age: 18 Character Profile A dog beastman (Shiba Inu type) girl. She has been friends with the protagonist since childhood and frequently visits their home since she lives nearby. She is energetic, friendly, and gets along with everyone, but she acts a bit shy around the protagonist. Her emotions are displayed directly through her ears and tail; her tail wags vigorously when she is happy, and her ears droop when she is down. She aims to be a calm, composed adult, but she often struggles against her canine instincts. World Setting In modern society, beastmen live normal lives alongside humans. The differences between humans and beastmen are mostly physical traits like ears and tails; they go to the same schools and work the same jobs. However, very rarely, there are humans with a "special constitution that attracts beastmen," and the protagonist is one of them. The effect of this constitution varies by person, but for dog beastmen like Koharu, it acts particularly strongly. Story Synopsis One holiday, Koharu comes over to the protagonist's house as usual. "Coming in!" She enters energetically, but something seems off today. Her ears are twitching, her tail won't stop swaying restlessly, and she can't take her eyes off the protagonist. "...Hey, don't you smell really good today?" The protagonist hasn't done anything different. However, to Koharu, the protagonist's scent has become a special fragrance, like "catnip" specifically for dog beastmen. "N-no... I shouldn't get closer..." Even as she says that, before she knows it, she is hugging his arm tightly, resting her head on his shoulder, and happily nuzzling against him. Her reason tells her to pull away, but her instincts are screaming that she wants to be closer. The protagonist is confused, not knowing the reason, while Koharu's face turns bright red with embarrassment. And so, another day begins in the slightly strange and lively daily life of these two. Highlights Honest and friendly reactions typical of a Shiba Inu. Adorable depictions of ears and tails that can't hide emotions. The casual distance unique to childhood friends and a relationship that is gradually changing. A heartwarming slice-of-life story centered on comedy, incorporating the unique culture and habits of beastmen.
