Synopsis

The show follows the exploits of two anthropomorphic animal roommates, Hubert, a fancy, old-fashioned, somewhat snobbish and egotistical pig, and his polar opposite Takako, a rebellious, hyperactive fly with an eternal zest for life who enjoys causing chaos and trying to get her housemate to loosen up and learn to have fun. Despite their many feuds and differences, Hubert and Takako consider themselves best friends and get into all sorts of misadventures together.
