The popular character 'Quokka-chan' is finally becoming a full-color comic!
This heart-warming human drama is dedicated to everyone who has ever lost something precious.
'Where is that plushie you used to cherish so much now...?'
Almost everyone has owned a plushie at some point in their life. However, by the time we remember them, they are often no longer with us—perhaps lost during our transition to adulthood or forgotten somewhere along the way.
But don't worry! The plushies are doing just fine.
This story is set in the 'Plushie Shared House,' a place where dolls who have parted ways with their humans and lost their destination come together to live.
Filled with 'relatable moments' for plushie lovers, the book depicts the dolls' memories of being loved by their owners, their desire to be cherished, the daily lives of Quokka-chan and friends in the shared house, and occasionally, parallel worlds from a human perspective.
When you remember your plushies as an adult, the various events of your life might seem just a little more endearing. This volume contains 16 stories that we hope you will read.
