Kokoro-chan Manga #2 | The Quokka Who Can't Stop Smiling

In a mysterious island, there is a small clinic.
Animals whose hearts are a little tired come here.

This week's patient

The second episode is
the story of Quo the Quokka.

Quokkas are sometimes called the "happiest animals in the world"
because they look like they are always smiling.

It's good to be smiling.
Being pleasant is probably important, too.

But if you have to keep smiling day after day,
could it be that your face ends up working too hard...?

Episode 2: Can't Take Off the Work Face

Episode 3: The Push-Button Traffic Light on the Animal Trail

Episode 4: A Day in the Life of Quo, Who Can't Stop Smiling

Episode 5: Forced Termination of the Smile

Episode 6: Customer Service with a Frown

Episode 7: A Perfect Score for a Day of Doing Nothing

A smile is supposed to be something that comes out when you're happy,
but before you know it, you might feel
forced to do it.

Quo smiled so much that
his face got stuck.

Dr. Wolf's treatment was quite a brute-force method,
but perhaps practicing not smiling for a while was necessary
to get his normal face back.

Next time will also be a story about someone who is a little tired.
Look forward to it!
