Tramps Like Us, Volume 8

This eighth volume returns to Sumire and Momo. Momo's status as a pet is finally behind him, and he steps forward as Takeshi, the man Sumire loves. The change alters how the two of them see each other and what they might become together. The story stays focused on everyday romance, with its tender moments and the awkwardness of a relationship moving past its unusual beginnings. Readers who have followed the series so far will find the couple at a turning point, with the emotional stakes of their bond now out in the open and the question of where they go next driving the chapters forward.
