| General Note: | Originally published in Japan in 2012 as Ôkii Ouchi to Chisai Ouchi by IWASAKI Publishing Co, Ltd, Tokyo. |
| Summary, etc.: | Little Mouse and Big Bear live on opposite ends of the same road, and they both would like a friend. But every morning, Little Mouse and Big Bear pass by each other, unnoticed. Until one day, their eyes meet! It's a little awkward at first--as most new friendships can be--but soon enough they're sipping warm tea together in Big Bear's cozy home, and making plans to meet again the following Sunday. When a nasty storm blows into town will it wreck everything they've built?-- Publisher's description. |
