Takayuki Mizushina

"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...

Muco dreams of the day when Mr. Komatsu will become a dog, too, but in the meantime she spends her days chewing up towels, jumping in the pond, and inventing new games...all called "Komatsu"! Based on a real person, a real dog, and a real glass studio, there's something here for everyone.
