A review by paigesonpages
With You and the Rain, Vol. 1 by Ko Nikaido

5.0

If you’re looking for a manga that pairs well with a big blanket, a cup of tea, and gray skies, With You and the Rain by Ko Nikaido is the one for you!

This charming story about the relationship between an owner and their… curiously unidentified pet will have you laughing and appreciating the company of your own fur babies. Each chapter is a different adventure, exploring the everyday lives of the charming duo.

The lack of names for both the protagonist and their rescue pet allows the reader to insert themselves into the story, which is a nice touch. I could easily relate to how much the owner cares for their new best friend, and how one can consider a pet rescuing them instead of the other way around.

While Volume One does leave the reader with a satisfying ending, I am already looking forward to future adventures with this hilarious and heartwarming crew!

Many thanks to NetGalley and Kodansha for a complimentary copy in exchange for an honest review.
