しっぽ街のコオ先生 [Shippo-gai no Koo-sensei] #10

A relaxed yet confident young veterinarian in a white coat and green scrubs stands front and center on this tenth volume of Shippomachi-no-"Ko" Sensei, flanked by an eager beagle on one side and a rotund, dignified cat on the other. Creator Tarasawa Michi's warm, clean linework gives the cover an immediately welcoming feel — this is clearly a series that finds genuine heart in the everyday bonds between people and their animals. If you've been following this charming veterinary slice-of-life from Shueisha, volume 10 looks like a thoroughly cozy continuation.
