Kinokoinu Mushroom Pup - S01

Grieving the death of his last family member, his dog Hanako, picture book writer Hotaru Yuuyami has been stuck with writer's block for nearly two months. Even his childhood friend and editor Tsubaki Uehara cannot ease his pain, no matter how hard she tries. Then one day everything changes when Kinoko Inu suddenly appears, a mysterious mushroom from his garden that turns into a dog-shaped creature. To Tsubaki's great dismay, Hotaru quickly invites the creature into his home. Days after Hotaru and Kinoko Inu begin living together, the strange mushroom-dog decides to burn what is left of Hanako's belongings to lift Hotaru's depression. But life together, between the overworked writer and his mischievous guest, turns out to be harder than expected, and Hotaru must let go of his grief if he is to properly care for Kinoko Inu.
