Riki's childhood was awesome

[Phantom Riki]

Though it's a short story,the plot of very interesting from start to end.From the birth of Riki to separating from his mother,meeting his father and the fight with Saheji's pack,everything is fine.I loved how Riki transformed from being the weakest puppy to the strongest one.His childhood was filled with great memories as well as sad ones,which led the foundation of his less speaking,charismatic leader figure in GNG.
I honestly wanted its anime adaption.
What are your thoughts?

I also love the story! Enjoyed to see him growing up from a Mother-needing puppy to a proud adult!
He was so cute as puppy <3

I think his childhood was also great! It really showed how brave and noble he was as a puppy after growing up from when he was deemed “weak” and a “runt,” becoming the badass that he was.

I love it TToTT
I love that he was more timid and a mama's boy but had to work hard to be able to visit her again. It's definitely in my top fav Ginga side stories.
Do you ever think about just how long he kept up the visits to his mom's? I guess probably until Gohei took him in..?

I'd love to see this in anime *__*

Yes!! His story is one of my favorites. I really wish there had been a short spin-off about his childhood from GNG. He experienced a lot of growth and was severely underestimated but became so strong in the end.
