Life in Akita has it 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 (despite the continuing lack of cats).
Join Muco and Mr. Komatsu for another 4 seasons of adventures as Mr. Komatsu (and Muco) break in a new intern, Tamaki, at the glass blowing factory (who happens to be scared to death of dogs).
A delightful time spent with Muco, her silly antics, Mr. Komatsu and friends, and the new intern. This volume managed to make me laugh out loud when Muco unintentionally scares Tamaki off a roof (thankfully, there's lots of snow to catch him). We get to learn some more of Ushiko's background in this volume too. (Especially learning how he went from the skinny baseball player to the hefty guy he is now.) This series may be one of the funniest mangas currently being released.

I love Muco. She is an iron woman! But she also has lots of rumbles (in her tummy) in this one. There is new person, Tamaki the part timer, who doesn't really like dogs. Muco gathering chestnuts was super cute. A delight as always!
