Pyuu to Fuku! Jaguar (ピューと吹く！ジャガー, Pyuu to Fuku! Jaguar^?) is a Japanese manga about flutes, instruments and Japanese jokes. It has no solid plot. A live-action film has recently been announced, as well as an animated DVD made in Flash animation.

Story

The story starts out with Saketome Kiyohiko trying to take a band audition. In his way he sees a strange man named Jaguar carrying a big case, which turns out to be holding only a small recorder. Kiyohiko tries not to get distracted by him but fails, because when Jaguar plays his recorder a guitar like sound comes out of it. After that many things happen and Kiyohiko ends up being roommates with Jaguar.

Characters

Jaguar Junichi (ジャガージュン市 , Jyagaa Jyun'ichi ^?)

Jaguar is a strange man that likes to play the recorder. He and Piyohiko are roommates in Gari Dormitories, where he runs a recorder class.

Generally when somebody blows in a recorder the sounds go like "Pyuu" (ピュー), but Jaguar sometimes makes sounds like Gyiiiiiiiiin (ギュイイイイイイイン) that is used to describe guitar-like sounds.

Kyohiko Saketome (酒留清彦, Saketome Kiyohiko^?)

Nickname: Piyohiko (ピヨ彦 Piyohiko)

Piyohiko is a normal man who dreams of being a great Guitarist. He's somewhat a narrator of the history. Even thought he thinks Flutes are lame, he's in the Flute Class (mostly because of Jaguar) and, ironically, his family owns a flute shop (and his father is as weird as Jaguar). He's very similar, if not identical, to Fu-min from Sexy Commando Gaiden: Sugoiyo! Masaru-san (both have an objective, act as a tsukkomi to Masaru/Jaguar (boke), and are very similar in appearance)
