Synopsis :
Wataru is an introverted high school student, and to make matters worse, he has an unspeakable passion: he is literally crazy about stuffed animals! He collects them, loves them… shameless! Until the day when, targeted by classmates, he sinks into the depths of a playroom. He then finds himself face to face with an old abandoned machine. But in this distributor, there is a unique plush toy: the man-plush-bear, Mofutarô !!! The latter, as a plush toy worthy of the name, wants only one thing: to be cuddled by Wataru! But the poor high school student, already bad in his skin, does not really want to make free hugs with a half-naked man … His daily life will be deeply disrupted, especially since Mofutarô is not the only stuffed man to land in the world of humans!
Planned in their WTF collection, it is therefore a new short and crazy story proposed by Akata editions for the end of June. With a synopsis like this, it's hard not to make the connection with the legendary Pedobear!
