📖 SYNOPSIS

Uruno, a wolf who considers himself useless, embarks on a journey to find a new place to live. He discovers a forest inhabited by a collection of animals who are anything but typical. Among them are Usahara, a bad-tempered, smoking rabbit; a sake-drinking unicorn; a near-sighted eagle; an orca who can't swim; and a shy pegasus. Initially, Uruno plans to move on, but his heart is captured by Chiiko, a clumsy cheetah girl. Smitten, he decides to stay in the forest, hoping to win her over. He navigates the daily lives of the forest's unusual residents, all while striving to prove himself worthy of Chiiko's affection, despite his own perceived shortcomings. The series explores themes of self-acceptance and finding belonging amongst those who are also considered "useless."
