Spoiler for Episode 3:

It's a pretty good episode involving some mystery elements. Our protagonist Narumi didn't forget his dark traces involving the death of his human self, but he does sure enjoys his new life as a dog to learn things that are not very common for animals like him in-story, such as being a talkative creature of the strange kind. The deranged masochist woman Suzuna is introduced, possessing her own bored eyes devoided of lightning sparkles and enjoys being stabbed and other sorts of violent situations. She's also a friend of Kirihime, and I have a strange feel that she was also a lesbian. Other than that, we learn the secret behind the 3 greatest writters of all times, including Kirihime herself as well the singer Maxi. More complications are stuck around Narumi's life, and he even started to feel lost when thinking of Haruka, his cooking sister, only to find out that he wakes up tied. We can expect some flashback scenes between the siblings and how strong their attachment are, though it's pretty obvious that Kirihime is Narumi's love interest, while the other girls (except Haruka) might chase after Kirihime rather than Narumi, which kinda feels refreshing but we'll see the dangerous situations to come next episode.

So that Shining girl is both Idol and bookwriter, and successful in both occupations?

Very strange - I thought Idols don't have much free time, and book writing requires enormous time investment...

SHINING!

Episode 3 was much better than the previous ones. Lots of good humor. Liked the guy running with toast in his mouth.

The mc sure settled into his life as a dog comfortably...been over 3 months already for him. Anyone know what kind of breed he is?

Thought it was funny when the MC was playing with the piece of afro guy's hair that was cut. I wonder if it might seem like an innocent scene or it might get expanded on. Like the longer he stays as a dog, the more he's going to lose his sense of self and just turn into a pure 100% dog-state.

Sister and dog reunite at the end. I wonder if she can hear him as well. Guess we see next episode.

[SQA]

The Dog appears to be a long-haired dachshund. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dachshund ) I think a little on the smaller size, but he keeps shifting in relative size, so it's hard to say.

This series is far more hilarious than you would think. I especially like the meta jokes. (The Editor is voiced by "Koko is Loco" herself, Itou Shizuka herself)

[Quol]

That trap at the end....how did he fall for it.
"Oh, a random book under a basket with a stick holding it up, might as well walk into it while knocking the stick down!"

But in all seriousness i am going to look forward to how the sister and kirihime interact with each other since i'm pretty sure the sister likes the MC

[Dark Faith]

One more for the drop list.

After the mess that was episode two, I had hopes that the next one would keep things interesting, but instead it keeps presenting me with more annoying characters and unlikely revelations.

And if I hear "Shining" one more time, I will sacrifice a baby to satan.

[HandofFate]

SHINING!


Looked up her voice actor since I really liked it. Seems like a relatively new name.

[Dark Faith]

You... what have you done?

[Traece]

More.

AND MORE.

SHINE BRIGHT- Whoops. Wrong anime.

An interesting setup episode here. I got a few good laughs in here and there, and there was a bit of intrigue. For the most part, rather average. I, really don't have a whole lot to say.

There are two things however, that must be said:

First off, this plot... If he weren't a dog, this would absolutely be a harem.

Second, I actually have a lot of fun watching the two of them just, well, do stuff. It's amusing to me to see her just walking around so casually while her "dog" follows her. Even in the third episode I just can't help but feel that way about his predicament I guess.

[SQA]

It's still a harem, just with a dog that doesn't want to be a Harem King as the MC.

[Master_Yoma]

So the masochist finely showed up

[GundamZZ]

THis episode is interesting. The story builds up the suspense, and it ends with another suspense.

The shining girl is probably the humor about the real life young female authors. I think that the writer's award caused some criticism and controversy.

[Eratas123]

I just realized something: Does he have a dog's lifespan or a human's? Cause if its the former then it must suck since he only has about 10 years on average to live before his body croaks. I'd be trying to find a way back to normal ASAP.

[Chiibi]

Okay, her editor is a really stupid character.

But the ep ended on an interesting note:

Spoiler:

how does his sister know it's him!? o_o

Yeah, he better hope it's a human's lifepsan. Since otherwise he's only got a handful of years before that body gives out.

Apparently every attractive woman in the city can hear his voice eventually. That seems to be the idea here.

What confuses me more is why he knocked the stick out of the basket and got capture. He's no longer able to recognize that it was propping the basket open?

He was so enamored with the great work of literature in front of him. You could probably get him to do the most reckless thing in the world if you reward him with a book.

[Eratas123]

His hair does grow back remarkably fast, though

There is no proof his sister actualy can hear him and neither in case of editor, Sunshine nor clerk. So it doesn't seem to be the idea here...

Also of course he had eyes only for Sloth, of course he would miss some unimportant details like obvious trap.

Not yet, for now it's Love triangle, other girls doesn't see mere dog in him. Of course it might change quite quickly.
