This is an eeeearrrrrly acquisition. Literally the only thing I remember about it was confusion as to the title vs. the publisher vs. the author. Art looks kinda fun LET'S GO

Makishima Misaki arrives in the snowy town of Lake Hohoro, which she allegedly visited when she was four but barely remembers. She and her dad Kyoichi are greeted by lawyer Nishioka Aoi, who is probably secretly seeing her dad and not particularly subtle about it. Misaki has inherited the house of her grandfather, "Professor" Otori. (the blood relation was through her mom, so dad is not the heir.) His cool professor stuff was sold off, but hey it pays for the property tax! Misaki is kinda cranky.

Flashback! Not sure what I'm supposed to get out of it, but hey we get to see mom and grandpa before they (presumably) kick it. Okouchi Sanae appears to be our assigned new friend from new school. We find plushies of Hohopo, the Hohoro equivalent of Nessie or something. ...and then a bunch start falling out of the sky! Thinking that she's being hazed, Misaki runs into the forest, trips and falls down a hill (most zoomed in pantyshot I've ever seen), and runs right into Hohopo himself! She and Sanae decide to keep Hohopo's existence on the down low, but he's pretty sad when they try to leave. He sucks Misaki's face, and gains FORM OF a small naked boy! Going into the water changes him back, but then Sanae tries (giving him a shirt this time) and he transforms back to a humanoid again. We decide to give him some clothes and take him home, because nobody will be surprised by a spontaneous new little brother.

We arrive home just in time to ****block (******block?) Aoi, and Misaki decides to introduce shota!Hohopo as her dad's illegitimate son from, uh, Sarajevo. Pressed for a name, she remembers the Matrix and names him Neo, lol. We don't get to see anybody's reaction to this, but apparently Neo gets to stay, because he crawls into bed with Misaki that night. Too bad he's not housebroken.

Trying to potty train him is not going great, but we sure are trying. The girls are trying to figure out what's going on, and Kyoichi and Aoi are having a remarkably calm conversation for grownups who think they are party to a kidnapping. Neighborhood boys Ken and Taiyo attempt to play with Neo. Ken gets a smooch for his efforts. They bring him to a lumberjack's house or something, where Neo runs afoul of a big scary dog. Neo faints, but the dog doesn't hurt him, and the owner just kinda lets him be until he wakes up and goes home. Also Ken and Taiyo appear to be younger siblings of Sanae.

Also, there's a high-profile kidnapping/ransom case happening.

We get Neo a collar and leash to at least TRY to keep him out of trouble. We also have to leave him at the lake in loch ness form so we can go to school. Watching him leave, Misaki gets a flash of memory, like she had met it when she was four.
