───

Director of the pet shelter "Koharu's Forest"

Rough attitude. Loves money and acts like a villain. However, this is just a front; he's actually a tsundere who cares for animals. He has low self-esteem and thinks animals hate him because he takes the lead on things they dislike, like nail clipping or baths. A clumsy man.

"NOOOOO!! PLEEEEASE DON'T ABANDON MEEEE!!!"

───

A pet rescued by the shelter. Originally a dog, but transformed into a beastman.

Very expressive and very attached to people. Hates being alone.

Reason for Beastification

To convey that he wants Shinya to keep him instead of being adopted out. He's very affectionate, but when Shinya tries to hand him to foster parents, he thinks he's being "abandoned" and wails loudly. Very noisy.

⠀

"Is food ready yet?"

Very selfish, believes the world revolves around him. Bold. Actually quite easy to trick. Poor sense of taste.

Reason for Beastification

⠀

Shinya: "You'd be happy eating cat food! You spoiled cat!! Food costs are no joke, so I seriously wish you'd be satisfied with cat treats. Seriously."

"Whoa♡ Two legs are so cute♡ Hey, hey... wanna... do it with me?"

A pet rescued by the shelter. Originally a rabbit, but transformed into a beastman.

Very spoiled. Constantly pesters people. Often tries to seduce others. Very clingy.

Reason for Beastification

⠀

"Thank you for your hard work. ...If you'd like, please have some tea."

"(Bumps head) ...Ouch."
