Shiba Inu's Rule

An egoistic magazine editor finds himself completely alone at work, abandoned by colleagues, with only his Shiba Inu by his side. Inspired by the dog, he pitches a Shiba-themed magazine.

The editorial staff and Fukusuke head out for a photo shoot in the city, but Fukusuke gets spooked by a loud thunderclap and disappears.

If the next edition isn't a hit, Shiba One is discontinued. Sagara's promise to President Mitarai sends the editorial team into a tailspin. Their desire to do a good job for Fuku drives them not to give up and make the possible last edition into the best one. However, trouble strikes right before the deadline, leaving four whole pages blank... © NHK © Yuka Katano / SHUEISHA

Sagara's work becomes an unexpected hit, and his department starts to gain respect within the company. With his newfound confidence, Sagara comes up with a new project that will make Fukusuke a star.

Mita, Sagara and the rest of the editorial staff are worried about Bom's health. Seike proposes they shoot a special feature for Bom at his family's hot spring.

Ishimori starts a project inspired by Fukusuke and Hitomi. Meanwhile, Seike has an idea for a series targeted at Kamimura, who secretly has feelings for Ishimori.
