Yuzu's always been scared of animals, but she tries to help out. The resident Chihuahua is tiny and adorable, but acts up whenever Yuzu comes near. The fluffy cats that see her a hiss. Yuzu just wants some peace and quiet, but what can she do?! Then an encounter with a boy and his dog turns fear into a desire to learn... And as Yuzu works hard to understand her fuzzy friends, they begin to feel comfortable around each other.
