Inugami-san and Nekoyama-san
1st "Inugami-san and Nekoyama-san"
Inugami Yachiyo, 16 years old.
Though my name is Inugami, I like cats.
Why do you like cats?
Well...
I'd rather be disciplined than be the disciplinarian.
That's actually rather dog-like.
No! I'm just a cat lover who's a total masochist.
What kind of explanation is that?
Nekoyama Suzu, 16 years old.
Though my name is Nekoyama, I like dogs.
People say that I act like a cat.
Totally not true.
Dried Sardines
Want a mirror?
Nekoyama, this is Inugami-san from the class next door.
Who is this kitty cat?
Destiny
Who is this puppy dog?
It's a pleasure to meet you!
What are you, a dog?!
Meow!
What are you, a cat?!
What do you like about dogs, Nekoyama-san?
Dogs are really friendly, they'll play with you,
and you can teach them things...
Like "shake."
Here.
Wh-Wh-Wh-Why are you holding my hand?
Sorry, it just happened...
What do you mean, "just happened"?
Inugami-san and Aki are friends.
Aki was saying that she taught her about a lot of things—
Wait a sec!
"A lot of things"? What is "a lot of things"?!
Come. I'll teach you about secondary sex characteristics.
Aki-chan...
What am I thinking?!
Cats are so noisy at night lately.
They must be in heat...
Ew!
I see... in heat.
So, Nekoyama-san is also in heat.
My body's so hot, I can't stand it.
Save me, Inugami-san.
What am I thinking?
Then again...
Humans are in heat all year 'round. Can't be helped.
Inugami-san and Nekoyama-san
Huh? I can't find my gym clothes.
What?
Could it be that you have hers by mistake?
Huh?
You're right.
That's amazing. How did you know?
Your smell!
I can easily find your scent within a hundred meters.
She's a weirdo. There's a weirdo here.
Come to think of it, you have a dog, don't you, Inugami?
Yep! Three of them.
That's amazing! So cool! So cool!
Want to come over and see them?
Is that okay?
Sure. My parents aren't home today...
You could even stay until morning!
You're worrying me on many levels, puppy girl.
These are our dogs.
They're so cute! What am I going to do?!
Yeah, what are we going to do?
Can I touch them?
Sure, go right ahead.
So fluffy!
This is so relaxing.
Yet this worries me to no end.
That tickles!
Hey! Don't lick her.
It doesn't bother me.
So sorry my dog dirtied you.
I'll clean you right up.
This actually makes me feel even dirtier.
Aw, come on.
Is this one of those things
I should be enjoying as some kind of comedic routine?
I wish I could stay with you forever.
I see... Well...
Then, let's get married.
How many steps did you just skip?!
I decline.
Aw, why?!
Well, if I say yes now, it'll seem like I was hooked by the dog.
Hey, does this mean what I think it means?!
Oh, shut up.
Why don't you just ask her yourself?!
