What is 'Dekai Hachi'?

A creature that suddenly appeared one day, about 40 cm long, plump and stout - that is 'Dekai Hachi'.

When you touch it, it feels exactly like a 'fat cat', fluffy and fuzzy. Weaker than a rhinoceros beetle, can fly about as well as a chicken. Loves potato chips more than honey. Its stinger is buried in its rear... a mysterious and adorable creature.

From docile ones to selfish ones, ones like a middle-aged man on holiday, ones whose art is exploding - each individualistic 'Hachi' meets humans and unfolds a mysterious daily life.
