Maigo’s manga pairs everyday pet comedy and warm friendships with a futuristic world of surveillance and social control, centering on Sato and the odd bio-printed creature he names Suama.
A light, character-driven slice-of-life centers on Sato bonding with an unexpected bio-printed pet called Suama.
The setting mixes pleasant everyday life with pervasive surveillance: curfews, neighbor ratings, and household assistants that monitor behavior.
Volume 1 balances cuteness and warmth with uneasy worldbuilding, revealing details gradually and leaving questions for later volumes.

Sato, a young, single man, tries to create a shiba inu on his new bio-printer, but instead he ends up with a smooth, almost featureless creature.
This turns out to be the result of a problem with the printer itself, with so many of these odd pets being produced that the government has declared them a new species, Printernia Nippon. 1 Story and art by Maigo Seven Seas Rated Teen (13+) This is one of those gently funny slice-of-life manga that run in seinen magazines in Japan and are marketed to kids and teens in North America, because the content is wholesome. The short chapters and smooth, linear artwork make it easy to stay engaged, and the story unfolds in a deliberate way, with details of this strange new world revealed a little at a time, and a bit of foreshadowing that shows that the author is making these choices deliberately.
Something else is going on in the background, though. Loudspeakers announce curfew each night, residents give each other ratings whenever they have a casual encounter, and everyone has a "lifestyle improvement consultant," an electronic assistant that keeps an eye on their household, acting as a combination alarm clock, personal assistant, pet-sitter, and spy. It's not entirely clear, but there are odd statues of cats everywhere that serve as surrogates, both observing the world around them and relaying instructions.
