The short anime also stars Akari Bando as Satori Inu‘s son.
Satori Inu is a four-panel manga with dark humor and cynical gags. The character Satori Inu appears as a tsukkomi (the foil in a comedy act), and the cat Mikeyama appears as a boke (the punchline deliverer in a comedy act), but their roles also get switched.
Yamada launched the four-panel manga on Fuji TV‘s FOD (Fuji TV On Demand) service in December 2023. The service posts a new chapter of the manga every Wednesday.
