This delightful comic essay is filled with quiet, tender scenes that bring comfort and joy. These irresistibly cute parakeets will surely make you smile with every page turn. Don't miss it! Comment from the author, PitchPotch (Pichipochi): "While I've always drawn about life with my parakeets on note, dreaming that one day it might become a book, winning the Special Award in the 'Comic Essay Award with OZcomics' became a turning point. I'm deeply moved that my work is now available as a published book. This book contains many conversations between Pitch and Pochi, as well as everyday moments that made me laugh—drawn through my own eyes. Despite their tiny bodies, my parakeets express rich emotions and vibrant personalities. I hope readers will feel their charm. I'd be delighted if both those who live with parakeets and those unfamiliar with birds alike find joy in this book. And I hope my experience—of continuing to draw what I love, eventually leading to a published book—can serve as a small encouragement to anyone else pursuing their creative path." ▼ Award-winning work: "Pipo at Year-End [My Parakeet Manga]" https://note.com/chebmovsky/n/nfc5200fe4531 Comment from the OZcomics editorial team: "PitchPotch's (Pichipoc
