Guess who joined a dead fandom! Or some people are bringing it back up on Tumblr.

Oumagadoki Zoo! It's an old series by Kouhei (creator of Boku no Hero Academia), which is amazing and sadly too short of ending a wonderful story.

This shipping is definitely lacking in the fandom. Yes a human and a humanoid lion, I ship it...SOO FREAKIN' MUCH!

"What's this?" Aoi Hana, the zoo keeper of Oumagadoki Zoo, stares questionably at a advertisement. And it seem to have some pictures of some tents, balloons, game stalls, and the focal point is a Ferris wheel.

She's sitting in her desk thinking about how to bring in more visitor for her work. But she stopped when her classmate Ikumi stand in front of her desk, showing her the flyer.

"Isn't obvious?" The girl with honey-colored hair said in an obvious tone. "It an advertisement to an amusement park. This weekend is their grand opening…"

"Ikumi…" Aoi's hope have risen, thinking, is this an opportunity to strengthen their friendship? Her brown eyes widen in suspense and excitement as she wait for her classmate's further explanation.

"And I was invited by my boyfriend!" Ikumi finish her reason as she held her cheeks by both of hands. Fantasizing about all the fluff scenes that could possibly happen on her date soon.

"I see…" The zoo keeper's hope been crush as her eyes averted to somewhere else, anywhere instead of her classmate. And then she thought, 'is she still going out with that guy?' Leading to her memories screen playing that tall guy who was so boastful about his cheekbones. "Why are you showing this to m-me?"

Soon the happy girl stop what she's was doing and begin blushing as she also averted her eyes to somewhere else.

"Well… I broke up with my previous boyfriend recently… And this other guy, asked me out to the place...and I'm not very good with a new guy…" Ikumi near the end spoke in mumble as she shown weakness to Aoi, who she used to look down on.

The short ebony-haired girl move her eyes back at her classmate. Her curiosity got the best of her, even when she knows not to peak on other business.

"B-But you said 'boyfriend,' just now."

"Well me and the other guy just started going out yesterday. And he invited me to the amusement park as a first date."

"So what does this have to do with me, then?"

Ikumi grab both corner of her desk and brought her face closer to Hana's. Eyes pleading for some reinforcements.

"P-Please can you come?! And please bring a boy too, so this can be a double date!"

Aoi didn't know what to say, or how her job would interfere. But seeing that her classmate/potential friend is very nervous about this date.

And when there's a friend in trouble—

"You can always count on me!" The words came out instantly before her mind could process what she just said. And to ensure her words— She smiled with her own thumb pointing at herself.

"Alright! Maybe this wouldn't be a bad idea…"

And so Ikumi pounded in the plan into Aoi head.

Two days until the planned double date.
