Uruno, a good-for-nothing wolf, wanders the roads looking for a place to call home. He stumbles upon a forest full of similarly "useless animals"—creatures that fail to live up to their species' typical traits. After a brief scuffle with Usahara, a short-tempered rabbit who smokes, Uruno decides to move on, but changes his mind when he meets Chiiko, a clumsy cheetah girl. It's love at first sight for Uruno, and he chooses to stay in the forest, holding onto the hope that despite being a loser, he might one day win her heart. That is, if he can handle living alongside the other bizarre residents: the aforementioned smoking rabbit, a unicorn that drinks sake, a near-sighted eagle, an orca unable to swim, and a shy pegasus.
