Maid of Mayhem is the first volume of Furry Fight Chronicles. It is composed of the first nine chapters of the comic.

## Description

After watching her first furry fighting match, Muko decides to become a Combagal, a female furry fighter. However, the road ahead is a long one. To start her journey, she hires the disgraced manager, Misfortune Cookie, to help her in her path to become a Combagal. The pair faces bets against maids, fights with bikers, troubled relationships with partners, and an upcoming debut within the week. But nothing will stop Muko and Cookie in their desire to succeed in furry fighting.

## Plot

### Part 1

The story begins with Muko watching her first furry fighting match at Funawi Arena. The match between Fenny and Roora is an intense one that impresses Muko. After Fenny wins the fight, Muko realizes that she wants to be a Combagal. After breaking into the shower rooms, Muko asks Fenny how to become a Combagal, learning that she needs to find a manager.

The following day, Muko quits his job at Cafe Carrots to meet her manager at the Champubator Agency. Muko's manager is a squirrel named Cookie, who lives in the back of a soapland because of her agency's bad reviews. She promises Muko a debut match within the week. However, the first obstacle she finds is learning that Muko has no furry fighting training.

Cookie decides to promote Muko by having her work at different establishments, starting with Cafe Carrots. Cookie makes a bet with the owner where she will get the cafe's earnings of the day if Muko sells more than the maids by the end of the day. After Cookie teaches Muko the art of the persona, the bunny nearly wins the bet despite a slow start.

As the day is about to end, a trio of bikers from the Roda Kira Gang, led by a vixen named Kalita, enter into the establishment and demand protection money. Muko decides to fight Kalita to protect the establishment. She gets Cookie's support upon realizing that they will get a fanbase if Muko wins.

The fight turns one sided as Kalita easily defeats Muko and destroys Cafe Carrots in the process. Impressed by Muko's fighting spirit, Kalita spares Cafe Carrots, a suicidal salmon named Harry becomes a fan of Muko, and Shira, one of the maids, pays Cookie in gratitude for her help. Sadly, Cookie has to return the money to pair for the reparations of Cafe Carrots, putting her in debt.

Meanwhile, Nyarai, a cheetah who is Cookie's client and Muko's future partner, is working as a hostess at Club Nighthawk. After punishing a client for groping her, Nyarai asks Shun Gonfano when she will debut, revealing that he's her manager. Shun promised Nyarai that she will debut when Cookie makes her comeback, promising to make her a star in her debut fight.

#### Part 2

After her fight with Kalita, Muko goes to a clinic to get treatment for her wounds. Once she gets out, Muko gets scolded by Cookie for deciding to take a fight against a superior opponent. Cookie then tells Muko about Face and Heel Combagals and how she grew to love furry fighting after watching the Continental Champion Donkizari fight as a child. Cookie states that her work as a manager is to help Combagals achieve their dreams, causing Muko to promise to never let her down.

Despite forming a bond with Muko, Cookie has a bad relationship with Nyarai, her other client. Nyarai is getting impatient with Cookie finding a Combagal worthy of being her partner. After their latest argument prior to the events of the comic, Nyarai makes it clear to Cookie that she will join another agency and fight against Cookie's Combagals if the squirrel doesn't fulfill her promise.

Some days later, Mellow, a dog man working at the Bini Stoa who is a friend of Muko, meets Harry, who tells him that he's a fan of Muko and that she's a Combagal now. Mellow explains how he met and fell in love with Muko, taking her to her first furry fighting match. After finding out about Muko's fight at Cafe Carrots and reading a Spotter article that slanders her, Mellow calls Muko to warn her about her manager, but Muko hangs up on him due to a distraction.

Saniko, Muko's older sister, sees Muko's injuries and reacts with worry and concern. The two sisters get into an argument regarding Muko's desire to be a Combagal, since Saniko points out that Muko randomly chases dreams but then gives up on them after failing. Having said enough, both sisters go to their rooms, with Muko promising to win her debut fight with Nyarai.

On the previous day, Muko was at Monyan for a meeting regarding her debut match. She met Tasha, who told her about Skully being a former Combagal of Cookie who saved her workers from two rapists before moving to the Cyclone Crushers. Muko doesn't pay attention to the story due to being distracted by Tasha's beauty. She then got a call from Cookie, telling her that the meeting was at another place.

Muko left Monyan and reached the Steppin Wolf. She met Nyarai there, who instantly hated her for her lack of social skills. Cookie introduces Team Executor to Muko, telling Muko that they are her first opponents and the Masato Champions. To Muko's dismay, Adelgund is masculine in appearance. The volume ends with Muko comically lamenting how her first opponent is a zero in her beauty standards.
