Inu to Hasami wa Tsukaiyou

Kazuhito Harumi dies during a robbery and awakens as a dog. For someone who lives for books, losing the ability to read is almost as alarming as losing his human body. Then a woman who can hear his thoughts takes him home.

She is Kirihime Natsuno, the novelist he idolizes, and her sharp tongue is matched by a menacing pair of scissors. Their unlikely household becomes a tangle of arguments and mysteries as Kazuhito seeks a way to keep literature in his decidedly canine life.
