A hyena lives next door to us?This work provides 'fun' with its unique imagination of 'a hyena that pretends to be human and secretly lives in the human world.'
It's a hilarious tale of a family of hyenas who, instead of hunting for food, buy food at the supermarket and, rather than being mean, look for jobs to earn money honestly.

A hyena lives next door?
This is the first time I've seen a protagonist like this, a writer like this, and a family like this!
"Hyena Family" is a work that provides "fun" with its unique and novel imagination of "hyenas who live in the human world secretly pretending to be humans."
Usually, the animal protagonists in fairy tales are dogs, cats, and rabbits that bring to mind friendly and cute images, but the protagonist of this work is a hyena that seems a bit far from being likable.
You can't help but be curious about the fresh character settings.
The meticulous observation of author Julian Clair, who has a great love and interest in animals to the point of appearing on TV with his own dog, is well-incorporated into the habits, behaviors, and facial expressions of not only the hyenas but also the various animals appearing in the work, making the characters feel as if they are alive and breathing.
“Animals live together with humans.
It's just that humans don't know.
Have you ever seen someone and thought, "They look like a fox? Or an owl? Hmm, someone who looks like a hippopotamus? That's because they're actually a fox, an owl, or a hippopotamus!" _From the text
The author also shatters misconceptions about hyenas.
In the story, the hyenas Fred and Amelia are smart enough to talk to humans, and bold enough to jump into the human world pretending to be a BOLD couple.
(In reality, hyenas are smart and bold enough to compete with lions.) They hide their tails, long snouts, and sharp teeth with clothes, hats, and glasses, buy food at supermarkets instead of hunting for food in the wild, and even look for jobs to earn money honestly rather than being mean.
And she gives birth to twin babies, or chicks, like rabbits.
Thus, the Bold Family, a hyena family unlike anything seen before, is born.

Publisher's Review
Unique and engaging illustrations that bring the story to life and the characters to life!
One of the biggest contributors to highlighting the charm of [Hyena Family] is the drawings.
Illustrator David Roberts captures the potentially repulsive biological characteristics of the spotted hyena while creating a cute, cheerful, humorous, and lovable portrait of the Bold family.
As the artist's background as a fashion illustrator and hat designer suggests, the hyenas' costumes and accessories in the work are unique and even 'fashionable.'
Moreover, the rhythmic flow of the story in large and small letters is captured by the placement of illustrations at just the right places, keeping the readers' attention focused without a moment of boredom. Each animal disguised as a human is given a unique character, making the story even richer and more interesting.
The flaw in the perfect 'Hyena Family', the guy next door!
_A surprising twist on the level of the movie [The Sixth Sense]
A nice house, a job that suits your aptitude, and even children who are growing up well.
The Bold family is truly happy.
Except for one old man, Mr. McNumpty, who lives next door.
Mr. McNumpty is eccentric, meddlesome, and possessive! He treats Amelia, who comes to visit with a cake, with contempt, and yells at Fred, who marks his territory by rubbing his butt against a tree in the garden.
So he always watches the Bold family through the window and wonders about their identity.
But here lies a twist that neither the author nor the readers—no one—could have predicted! [Hyena Family] is a story that keeps you on the edge of your seat, gripping you with excitement until the very end.
The birth of a new fable!
Fables criticize and ridicule human wrongdoings and arrogant behavior through the personification of plants, animals, and objects.
[Hyena Family] is a work that clearly displays such allegorical characteristics.
The sight of the 'Hyena Family' struggling to live more like humans than anyone else does not just bring laughter and fun.
It shows not only the compassion of the family for Tony, a hyena who is on the verge of euthanasia, but also the unity and cooperation of the entire family as they come forward to save Tony.
Moreover, the true family love that embraces Tony and Miranda, the monkey who are no different from others, as a real family has great implications for people today.
The story of the Hyena Family, which is packed with a lighthearted atmosphere throughout, delivers a clear message and lesson, from letting go of prejudice to the weighty realization that the Earth is not a place for humans alone and that we need consideration and coexistence to understand and live together with others.
