Lovely Muco! Series

Life in Akita has it all: snow, snow storms, shoveling snow off the roof… But don’t worry, it’s also sweltering in the summer!!

Through existential quandaries, nose squeezes, and fruit-related torture, Muco’s devotion to her beloved Mr. Komatsu never wavers. She’s loving life, even when a dubious new kid appears on the block—though now Ushiko’s got the rumblies…?!

So come on back to GLASS STUDIO amato! Where all are welcome, not just dog lovers (despite the continuing lack of cats).

In the beautiful mountains of Akita stands GLASS STUDIO amato, run by Mr. Komatsu and the shiny-nosed dog who loves him—MUCO!!

Lovely Muco! is a story that depicts the lovely everyday life of Komatsu-san, a glassmith, and his pet dog Muco. Shiba breed Muco’s wish is that Komatsu-san could become a dog!

Deep in the mountains of Akita, the tranquility is broken by only one thing—MUCO!!

Through cherry blossom season and the mysteries of “Christmas” to the joy and heartache of Valentine’s Day, Muco endures the pain of trips to the vet and the humiliation of learning a new trick, all while fending off potential rivals for the affection of her beloved Mr. Komatsu.

The second thrilling installment of LOVELY MUCO! has everything you could imagine and more (still no cats, though).

In the beautiful mountains of Akita stands GLASS STUDIO amato, run by Mr. Komatsu and the shiny-nosed dog who loves him—MUCO!!

Based on a real person, a real dog, and a real glass studio, there’s something here for everyone—even cat lovers! (Disclaimer: no actual cats are featured in this volume)
