The training is brutal, and the punishments for slacking off are severe. Luckily for Chiyoko, no one else can see Gyubid, so she manages to keep her after-school studies a secret.

Chako Ishibashi leads a perfectly ordinary middle school life at a perfectly ordinary school. Yet one peculiar element stands out in her daily routine: the student sitting beside her, Shibainuko-san. What makes her so unusual? The answer is straightforward—Shibainuko-san does not resemble a human in the slightest. Instead, she looks exactly like a Shiba Inu! Kind, well-intentioned, and blending the traits of both a dog and a person, Shibainuko-san is adored by everyone. However, Chako realizes that her classmates seem completely unaware of Shibainuko-san’s canine appearance. Is it possible for a dog to attend school and be treated as a regular student? Come along with Chako and her closest friend Naho as they experience small, bite-sized adventures with their peculiar classmate, who may or may not actually be a dog.

This is an entertaining and educational debate comedy, condensed into five-minute episodes.
