Koisuru Shirokuma: Tokubetsu-ban
A seal attempts to escape a sleeping Polar Bear, fearing that Polar Bear will eat him. But before Seal can get far, Polar Bear wakes up and runs to him. Seal pleads to Polar Bear not to eat him, but Polar Bear instead performs a kabedon on Seal with a nearby ice wall. The original manga revolves around a polar bear who falls in love with an earless seal, and he wants nothing else except to protect him, even though the seal constantly thinks the bear will eat him.(Source: Anime News Network)
