A heartwarming, cozy manga about dog lovers, for dog lovers. Stunning illustrations that are crisp and refreshing. The perfect balance of laughs and heart string tugs. A woman who doesn’t know the power of her own strength and a man who will do anything to please and protect. Will they, and their furry counterparts, find that opposites truly do attract?
I always enjoy when books include behind-the-scenes content at the end. It is nice, as an artist myself, to see what goes into some of the characters and illustrations. It helps me learn and grow my own skillset! Always a nice touch that I appreciate.
The translation notes section was stellar. A combination of illustrations and written clarifications to cultural or language context that is important to understanding the story in its entirety.
First impressions:
The art is too cute in the best way. I loved the facial expressions of little Monjuro—truly brought the tiny dog to life and had me giggling. As a small dog owner myself, the essence of the small dog personality was captured perfectly and hilariously.
Wait, now the dogs have their own dialogue!? Love that.
When the story ended, I wanted more! I plan to buy this when it releases because it was such a sweet and heartwarming read. Perfect cozy anxiety buster for bedtime or a quiet afternoon. I can’t wait to see where the next issue goes. Thank you!
