Not that often you see something related to "World Masterpiece Theater" in a manga. The main reason I would the classic book is because the dog in the story is a Saint Bernard, which is a Mastiff-type breed (my favorite type of dog).

It seems that Mr. Onojiiha-san has plenty of energy left within him to surprise even seasoned tennis players! Smile

Though it is not part of the WMT library, "Alice in Wonderland" is also a favorite Western novel to be referenced in anime/manga.
