This manga started as one line:“a tiny dragon gets a job at a cat cafe”

Ignis: A palm-sized chibi dragon with emerald-green scales, a creamy chubby belly, and oversized golden reptilian eyes. He has tiny nubby horns, stubby wings, and a short spiky tail. He wears a miniature brown barista apron with a stitched nametag. An adorable, anxious puff of smoke occasionally curls from his round snout.
Mimi: A cheerful 24-year-old cafe manager with a petite build, light tan skin, and an auburn bob cut with blunt bangs. She has sparkling amber eyes and a constant warm smile. She wears a beige knitted sweater under a chocolate-brown full-body apron featuring an embroidered sleeping cat patch.
Barnaby: An enormous, exceptionally round ginger tabby cat with thick, scruffy orange fur and dark tiger stripes. He has droopy jowls, folded ears, and permanent grumpy slit-eyes. He wears a small burgundy collar with a golden fish charm, exuding the haughty authority of an undisputed cafe king.

Panel 1
Inside the sunlit, pastel-toned cat cafe. Mimi stands proudly holding Ignis in the palm of her hand, presenting him to the room full of scratching towers and low tables.
Mimi: Everyone, welcome our newest staff member! Please make him feel at home!
Ignis (shouts): R-Reporting for duty! I will do my absolute best!
Panel 2
On top of a low wooden coffee table. Barnaby looms ominously over Ignis, casting a huge shadow with a skeptical, half-lidded scowl.
Barnaby: Mrrroowwph.
Ignis (thinks): H-He's judging my resume with his eyes...
Panel 3
Ignis sweats nervously with comical anime teardrops flying from his face as he puffs out his cheeks, desperately trying to imitate feline behavior.
Ignis: Must blend in... Purrrrr... *hiccup*... PURR?!
Panel 4
Ignis sneezes violently, launching a tiny golden fireball straight upward into the air with a bright comedic flash.
