During the breeding season, the female's coat turns yellow, becomes woolier, and the tail turns brownish, losing much of its hair. Animals resulting from Ethiopian wolf-dog hybridisation tend to be more heavily built than pure wolves, and have shorter muzzles and different coat patterns.

The summer antlers are the larger set, and are dropped in November, after the summer rut. The second set—if they appear—are fully grown by January, and fall off a few weeks later. The coat is reddish tan in the summer, changing to a dull gray in the winter. Long wavy guard hairs are present on and coat throughout the year, with the coat becoming woolier in winter.

Mountain anoa The mountain anoa (Bubalus quarlesi) is also known as Quarle's anoa, anoa de montana, anoa de Quarle, anoa des montagnes and anoa pegunungan. Standing at at the shoulder, it is even smaller than the lowland anoa and the smallest of all living wild cattle. They also have longer, woolier hair that moults every February to April, showing faint spots on the head, neck and limbs. Both are found on the island of Sulawesi and the nearby island of Buton in Indonesia.

Deb Aoki, writing for About.com, says that "we see the life-changing decisions and the complexities of love and family relationships in modern Japan, as only Fumi Yoshinaga (creator of Ooku and Antique Bakery) can tell them".

Marissa Sammy, writing for Sequential Tart, felt the manga was "a hard book to get through, in a way", describing it as being in a "bruised space, where there are no quick and easy answers but instead the love and frustration and responsibility of real life and real relationships".
