An anime adaptation of Rie Nishida’s Tono to Inu manga also continues the popular trend of anime about pet owners, such as My Roommate is a Cat, this season’s Dog Signal, and perhaps even Chained Soldier. Nishida’s manga has been collected in 2 volumes, with the third volume to be released in Japan on February 15, 2024.
Flex Comix’s Comic Polaris magazine describes Tono to Inu:Although there was a time when the world of the Warring States was filled with the activity of demon-like warriors, that time has long passed. Now, the once powerful have fallen into poverty and live in shabby apartment complexes. Such a person is lord. The lord had just reached out his hand to pity a dog with a strange shape and short legs, but was confused by the mischief of his new servant. ‘What is this? Can a dog do such things?” The fierce-looking lord and the happy dog live together in peace and harmony!
