Boku to Sanbon Ashi no Chiyonpi

Boku to Sanbon Ashi no Chiyonpi

A manga about manga artist Doragon Odawara‘s three-legged miniature pinscher Chiyonpi.

We’ve discussed this on a recent episode.

My cousin told me about this manga last year and I put off on reading it for a long time because I knew it would make me cry. And it did. I cried a lot thinking about my beloved basset hound Maddy who passed away in 2014.

Crying aside I was surprised to read such a touching tale from Odawara because he’s usually known for crude comedy manga filled with dirty jokes. In this book he covers his own insecurities that led him to owning a dog and the surgery that left Chiyonpi with three legs. Odawara unique cartoony art really matches the funny and heartwarming tales of a manga artist and his beloved pet.
