This animal manga by Sasaki Rinko, who created a Siberian Husky boom in Japan, tells the story of Hamter’s growth. This is not only a story of Hamtel’s growth, but also a humorous depiction of his heartwarming daily life with his friends and animals, and is popular among men and women of all ages. Since the story takes place in a veterinary school, various types of animals such as sheep, horses, gerbils, and largha seals appear in the story, and the fact that it is drawn with a realistic and careful touch is also a highlight.
What’s Michael?
出典 : Amazon.co.jp
Michael” is a male brown tiger cat who is very good at “dancing and cheating” when he fails. Sometimes he is his cat, sometimes he is a stray cat, but his interactions with the people and animals around him make him laugh.
This is a read-out comedy by Makoto Kobayashi. Each episode has a different setting and setting, such as “The Obayashi Family” in which Michael is kept by a businessman’s family, “The Yakuza” in which a cat-loving yakuza appears, and “Anthropomorphism” in which no humans appear and only animals appear. The cute character modeling that incorporates animal ecology is a highlight of the book, and although it was created more than 30 years ago, it is still very popular among readers who love animal comics.
Unicorns don’t penetrate!
出典 : Amazon.co.jp
The legendary ‘Unicorn’ is said to be the most beautiful and proud animal in the world, with a horn on its forehead. Emko’ was 2X years old (age without a boyfriend) and was waiting for the prince of the white horse to appear, but what came to her was not the prince, but the white horse. By chance Emko came to live together with a handsome unicorn ‘Unni’, but as the legend goes, Unni was a hardcore ‘virgin kitchen’. It is a story about a virgin and a unicorn who is a hardcore ‘virgin kitchen’.
It is a romantic comedy(?) work of uni who says a lot of outrageous things in spite of its fantastic appearance, and Emko who has a fantasy about virginity so much that it makes her fantasize about it. This is a romantic comedy(?) work. The relationship between the “unicorn” and the “virgin” is what makes the interaction possible, and it is very popular.
Animal Yokocho
出典 : Amazon.co.jp
One day, Ami Matsuzaki, a 5 year old girl who moved to Mage Village, found a mysterious door in her room. One day, she noticed a mysterious door in her room and animals kept popping up from the door which is connected to ‘Animal Yokocho’, a different world where animals live. With Iyo, the troublemaker rabbit, Issa, the black-hearted panda, and Kenta, the teased bear, at the center of the story, Ami’s pleasant daily life with these unique animals begins.
A slapstick comedy that has been serialized for a long time in “Ribon” since 2006. Although it is a heartwarming manga for girls, the main character Ami’s unkindergarten-like behavior, surrealistic stories, and metanarratives make it a work that can be enjoyed by adults as well. The animals that appear in the work are all strong characters, and the comedy gags that fly around at a good tempo with jokes and comedic jokes are a highlight of the work.
Bonobono
出典 : Amazon.co.jp
A four-panel absurdist gag manga centering on three animals: “Bono Bono” the sea otter, “Chipmunk” the timid and cunning “Chipmunk”, and the violent but companionable “Raccoon”, which has been made into two TV animations and an anime movie. Despite the heartwarming character design, the philosophical gags have gained popularity, and a collection of quotes has been officially released, and the work goes beyond the boundaries of a simple animal manga. A wide range of animals are used from major ones such as Bobobono sea otter to minor ones such as snowy cats.
Yoshifumi and Karaage
出典 : Amazon.co.jp
If you’re an animal lover, you’ve probably at least once fantasized about what it would be like if you could talk to an animal or pet. In this story, the main character ‘Yoshifumi’ comes home one day to find that her pet woo-pauper ‘Karaage’ has suddenly started to talk. However, it seems that just because animals can talk, it doesn’t mean they are always cute. This karaage is quite selfish and has a sharp tongue. He annoys his owner, Yoshifumi, and often gets into fights with him. He has such a peculiar character, but as I read the story, I couldn’t hate him and I felt he was cute. I would recommend this work to people who like heartwarming (and sometimes downright funny) surrealistic manga.
