Do you have pets? Have you ever wanted to talk
with animals? This time, I’ll introduce a comic Doubutsu no Oshyaberi (動物のおしゃべり). The genre
is daily life and comedy. The main characters are Mika Fujino, Taro and Sakura.
Mika-chan is 5 years old, and she goes to a kindergarten. Taro is a dog, and
Sakura is a cat. The story and characters were created by Akira Shinsenji. The
comic was published in 17 volumes by Takesyobo.
Volume 1 came out in 2006.The price is 590 yen plus tax. Doubutsu no Osyaberi
is not that famous, but the comic is popular with girls. It is called a girl's comic, but also adults can enjoy it. The comic is a 4 panel comic so we can read it easily. 
First of all, Mika-chan has a special ability: she can talk with all animals. For example, she can speak with dogs, cats, crows, cockroaches, larvae of beetles, Kappa, etc. She can see an animal like a person, so she recognizes their fur is clothes. One day, she brushed up Taro's hair. She showed it to her brother, and she said "I took off his jacket". However, her brother could only see fur, so he was confused. This comic has a lot of similar stories.
My family has a dog, and we all want to speak with her. However, we can't communicate and we can't understand dog language. There is nothing we can do about it, but this comic makes us think that we should take good care of animals. If you have a pet or if you like animals, I recommend this comic.
