First of all, don't get fooled by the cover of it ; it may looks very childish but believe me, it's not. You can first think it's gonna be a cute story, with a human living among animals but it's so much more than that. This manga talks about the law of the stronger in the nature. There was such heartbreaking moments, where animals who just wanted to live peacefuly get agressively murdered by others animals, or even humans. I can't say much without spoiling but give this story a try, you won't regret it. But don't read this to your children ; it was in the children category at the library but it shouldn't have, it kinda traumatized my younger-self. Reading this later as a teenager, i can fully appreciate its story and the values it express.
