I don't know why but i really like it when the author make the lead protagonist looking like she lost faith of humanity long ago.

Not to harsh on the premise, but even blurry eyed, and sleep deprived, you should be able to tell a woman, from a dog. That kind of mistake usually takes powerful hallucinogens to make. Of course, I've never been up 3 days in a row, so what do I know.

The longest I've gone is 70hrs straight. At that point the shadows started moving on their own. Hallucinating from sleep deprivation is very real and I do not recommend it.

I am the biggest sucker for petplay. Kinda strange cause this wasn't my interest three years ago. I am a damned degenerate.

This seems like it could be real fun. Such a random start.

Maybe she really was a dog and the delusion was seeing her as human? We cant be sure what the clerk was seeing. (doesn't seem likely but i've seen it done before with a cat)

Or, she is a dog-girl Youkai who can assume human form and seriously wants an owner because its her nature, and thought to stake out a pet store till someone came in looking for a dog?

This could go in a number of different directions and I'm fine with all of them.

This is so interesting. I don't know what this manga is but this first chapter was great.

In some cases, sleep deprivation can lead to psychosis, although this is more rare. Dr. During says someone would have to be awake for around 72 hours straight before they would enter psychosis. “If you go on and continue [to stay awake], it’s possible to go into psychosis and develop delusions that will require psychiatric treatment,”

So according to this source the MC has much more than just hallucinations to worry about. 3 days up is insane. Interested in how their relationship develops on this whacky premise.

I should call my pet shop.
I need one of these...

BAHAHAHHAHA I CAN'T WAIT FOR A CONTINUATION OF THIS

I thought that was a dude

^ Not to necessarily excuse the premise, but sleep deprivation is known to result in hallucinations.

Yes, but normally these are visual hallucinations, sensory ghosts created during a liminal phase of conciousness that exists very briefly before the person either dozes off or forces themselves back to wakefulness. One does not hold long conversations with them, nor do they involve auditory or tactile sensations.

As someone who has been in a state between waking and sleep walking after night shift many times, I assure you, anything goes. I once held a conversation with someone (apparently), but all I remember was suddenly falling into my bed. If you are that messed up you barely recognize your surroundings anymore and don't register such details.

Is this https://myanimelist.net/manga/111276/Sewayaki_Kitsune_no_Senko-san?

Y'all it's a comedy manga why are you expecting medically precise portrayal of the symptoms of major sleep deprivation? I'm excited to see where this goes and hopefully it's light fluffy pet play.

Everyone, please don't pull all-nighters! They contribute to depression, and bad thoughts :( Make sure to get a good night's sleep!

Been awake 5 days in a row, i can just say that it does make you kinda lose your mind a bit, but everything gets funnier though hahaha it’s kinda like you are getting high on life literally... but then pass out like rock once you lie down, me and my friend was doing an assignment, and kept each other up to finish it, and then i don’t why i went to her apartment 20 minutes away when mine was only 7 minutes away from school.. but me and her got undressed and ended up falling asleep in her bed and woke up in a spoon position so we got like super confused to why we got undressed, but she didn't mind because we both were girls anyways. But overall do get some sleep or that shit happens for real hahaha or else you will wake up naked somewhere hahaha

^ Finally some IRL yuri on this site.

Even including the nonsensical "Since we are both girls" cliche. Brilliant.

Gestaltzerfall?????? is that really a legit "english" word? I'm German so I understand where it's coming from. But do people really use it? O.o Funny. :)
Anyway, this looks weird and cute, I like it. Also characters with bags under the eyes are a plus for me x)

The only other example I've really seen is in YuriCam, but there is a fair amount of German usage in manga and anime.

It's a scientific/medical term, so yes.

There's a whole bunch of German loanwords in English; Zeitgeist, Weltschmerz, Schadenfreude ... and of course stuff like angst or kaput or gesundheit.

I've stumbled upon some german words, but it's just that the word Gestaltzerfall is a pretty uncommon word. I didn't even know it. I was just kind of surprised, I guess. ^^

PS: I actually love that people use the word Schadenfreude. xD

^I'm guessing that she's a fan who's stalking her and possibly bugged her phone. So she learned that the author was in a slump by listening to her phone conversation with her editor and took it upon herself in order to become her pet to give her motivation so she can write a better manuscript.

(or I might be totally wrong and she hangs around pet stores to seduce fatigued women)

Mangadex already has the second chapter. Lady is a stalker, confirmed.

Oh My
