The Cornered Mouse Dreams of Cheese was first released in 2005 and was serialized in Shogakukan’s Nighty JUDY. The series’ English license is held by Seven Seas Entertainment, with the first volume published just last November 2019. Seven Seas describes the series’ story as follows:
“When Otomo Kyouichi’s wife starts to suspect that her husband is cheating on her, she hires a private eye, Imagase, to investigate him. However, not only does Imagase know Kyoichi from college, but he’s been nursing a crush on the man for years. Imagase gives Kyoichi an ultimatum: if Kyoichi wants to keep his cheating ways under wraps, then he has to give Imagase something in return. Imagase’s demands start with a kiss, but as the two men become entangled in each other’s lives, it soon becomes clear they each might want more than the other can give.”
The Cornered Mouse Dreams of Cheese movie is set for a June 5 release in Japan.
