I sort of feel that the editor in charge could use a hit with a cluebat. The art and premise are adequate for the genre, and there's enough possibilites you could play with in a dog-turned-human, that there was really no need for the foot fetish thing. It got kind of tiresome fast, I found. Maybe it wouldn't if it's your thing.
It was probably axed after v3 which is why the entire last volume moves towards resolution which actually rather works out okay. (Mostly due to a few comments from the most rational character in the series.)
