''Dogby Walks Alone'' is the name of an OEL manga by Wes Abbott, and the name of Abbott's winning entry in the second ''Rising Stars of Manga''. The ''Rising Stars of Manga'' entry was a 15-page prequel to the manga. Although the manga is primarily a comedy, it includes several scenes of serious, gripping drama, and the first volume's plot and theme are solidly based in noir fiction. For the sake of clarity and brevity, this article refers to the original 15-page ''Rising Stars of Manga'' entry as "the short story" and the full-tankōbon graphic novels as "the books". Like almost all "original English-language manga", ''Dogby Walks Alone'' is "straight to tankōbon", and never had its individual chapters serialized in a magazine. Dogby, the protagonist of both stories, is an amusement park mascot who never speaks, and never removes the head from his costume (at least not anywhere the "camera" can see). The actual narrative and dialogue of the short story and the first book come primarily through "Snack Girl", Dogby's "Watson" who also has a huge crush on him. The second book in the series is subtitled "Dogby Walks Tall". ==Lead characters== None of the characters in ''Dogby Walks Alone'' have real names, with the exception of Roy Happy, the owner of "HappyPlace", the amusement park where the stories take place (a direct homage to Disneyland and Roy Disney). In the short story, the shift manager is named Berger, but when the same character reappears in the book he is only referred to as "Former Shift Manager (Retired)". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dogby Walks Alone」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
