I wanna say ever since inukami, wolves have been gaining in popularity >.>. Still the art style reminds me of some old Peanuts cartoon, which is compelling me to wanna watch it, so hopefully I'll get a chance to check this out.

The story sounds pretty cute, and the art style is also pretty cute. Looks like something worth checking out. Same with Futatsu no Kurumi.

Wow, you are really a careful editor.
Let's forgive the author this mistake, since most of the people, including myself, would have never noticed it. Anime smile + sweatdrop
