About The Lord and the Dog

‘The Lord and the Dog’ or ‘Tono to Inu’ is written and illustrated by Rie Nishida, who originally posted the manga on their Twitter account in November 2020.

The manga then started serialization in the Comic Polaris web magazine in March 2021 and has three volumes published so far. The manga will be adapted into an anime that will premiere in January 2024.

The manga centers on a fearsome samurai, once feared on the battlefield for his great skill. But after his clan came to ruin, he has since lived a quiet and humble life, his intimidating face the only proof of his previous warrior life. One day, he encounters a curious corgi dog, who he is immediately taken with, and they begin a life together.
