The popular comic "Tono to Inu" (Lord and Dog) will be adapted into a TV anime! A former samurai lord with a strong temperament and a happy-go-lucky dog live together in harmony under the heaven!

The comedy manga "Tono to Inu" currently serialized in the webcomic "COMIC Polaris" will be adapted into an anime.

Tono to Inu" is a comedy manga written by Rie Nishida.

The story takes place in the Edo period (1603-1867) and depicts the master-servant life of a chubby corgi and a handsome former samurai named "Tono". Tono, who was once active on the battlefield like a god, has fallen from grace and now lives a lonely life alone in his house. By chance, he picks up a strange-looking dog with a short torso and short legs and tries to treat it as a vassal, but he is constantly at the mercy of its mischievous behavior. ......


Since the serialization began in 2021, "The portrayal of the corgi is the cutest. The contrast with Tono's overly stern and strong face is surreal. The disproportion between the time period and the dog is also interesting. It's kind of addictive." Tono and the dog are both so cute. Tono is a scary old man with a face like a god, but he's kind of cute. The surreal and unintentionally funny story has been well received. The story of Tono and his dog, one man and one dog, and their daily lives will be adapted into a TV anime.

In conjunction with the anime adaptation, a teaser visual newly drawn by the author, Rie Nishida, has been released.
