Synopsis:

Harumi Kazuhito, an avid reader and admirer of the celebrated novelist Natsuno Kirihime, experiences a sudden and unexpected shift in his reality. His life takes a bizarre turn when he intervenes in an attempted robbery targeting Kirihime, resulting in his own demise and subsequent reincarnation as a dachshund. Stripped of his former existence and immersed in a world devoid of books, Kazuhito’s plight is interrupted by the enigmatic Kirihime herself. She offers a peculiar form of assistance, presenting a darkly unconventional path forward. The narrative explores themes of identity, mortality, and the unusual connections forged through shared passions, all presented within a framework of surreal humor and a decidedly unconventional mystery. The series follows Kazuhito’s efforts to navigate this strange new world and unravel the circumstances surrounding his transformation, guided by the unsettling presence of the woman with scissors.
