佐々木とピーちゃん [Sasaki to Pii-chan] #1

A sharp-suited salaryman strides forward on this cover, a small white bird perched confidently on his outstretched hand, while two sharp-eyed young women — one with dark twintails and another with a similarly striking look — flank him against a dramatic backdrop. Sasaki and P-chan brings the original story by Bunkorori to manga form through artist Bless Ishizaki, with character designs by Kantoku, all published under Kadokawa Comics A. It's a genuinely appealing setup — an ordinary office worker, an extraordinary little bird, and the suggestion that their world is considerably stranger than it first appears.
