About Chokotan!

Chokotan! (チョコタン!) blends comedy by J.C.STAFF (2013). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. At its core: This story is about the dog named Chokotan who has the ability to speak with humans in the human language. Nao, her owner, likes a guy named Arima.

Also worth knowing: Arima has a dog named Hatsupi. On Hatsupi's birthday, Nao makes biscuits that are edible for both dogs and humans. Nao and Chokotan bump into Arima and Hatsupi on the sidewalk and Nao runs away before she can summon the courage to give the biscuits to Arima.

This one is best suited to viewers who want something light between heavier series. At 1 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.
