I bet my IRL dogs shit talk me all the time in whatever doggynese language they use.

Probably saying that I am a dirty traitor cause I keep my cats indoors while the dogs stay outdoors.

(No double chaps today, I was out most of the day so I did not have much time today to sit down and work on this)

Honestly at this point I just need to know what the aging curve for Mikan is going to look like now. Is their dog form static? Do they only age in whatever form they’re in? Are they still stuck with a dog’s life expectancy? I have a feeling we will get zero answers because it’s a gag manga but it’d be nice to know.

It seems like they've had her as a dog for a few years, judging by her presence in onee chans primary school memories, but her human form is a teenager, so the age of the two forms can't be aligned. She'd at least be an adult in dog years. 🤔

Thank you for the translation (I love this manga so much 😆).

corgis are so cute...



Feels like cats would shit talk more than dogs but i guess some are more 'sassy' than other breeds
Corgis are cute (I don't have one myself though). Also I do sometimes wonder what my own dog thinks of me. Mikan following Hina and having so much affection for her is kinda relatable in the sense that our own dog never seems to want to be apart from my sister (not for very long at least).

And then there's me...:angery: (I still love him though, he's a very good boy. My dog and I even have a few odd things in common that I can't help but marvel at).

Yeah, my working assumption at the moment is that the two forms are the same age numerically, but I have no idea what’ll happen from this point on regarding that, if anything.

If the age was numerically the same, her dog form would be super ancient, unless i'm misreading how old she's meant to be as a human.
I choose to believe she's a magical dog with a human lifespan, who will grow older at the same pace as her family

Dogs are more easily bribed with food than cats tho but yeah depends lol. But yeah i guess some do play favorites, my dog liked ppl in general but always clung to my uncles when they visited despite the smoke smell

Because it’s an anime artstyle, it’s difficult to tell the difference between characters that are early teens versus late teens unless explicitly told. It’s perfectly reasonable for a dog to be 12-13 years old, but yeah if it were 17-18 I agree it’s unrealistic and probably closer to what you said.

Without saying any spoilers, you will get more info on your question in upcoming chapters soon.
