<b>Thank you to NetGalley, Hono Natsuna and the publisher for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review</b> 🐩
Honestly, the book felt like a cup of hot chocolate you'd have while wrapped up in a fluffy blanket on a rainy day - and so that's how I was while I re-read the book.
The characters are so cute and the cover's adorable! This is the fluffiest romance manga I've read. Big guy, small dog & small girl, big dog? (not to mention, everyone's cute??) Give it to me now!!
The title is on spot and I cannot wait to read more about these cuties.
This is such a cute, lighthearted, slice of life manga!
While the main characters of the manga are both very cute, their dogs Monjuro and Tsubu-chan are the real stars. Monjuro as the flapjack octopus was absolutely adorable.
There isn’t much plot development in this volume, but it seems like it’s going to be a slow burn romance so maybe we will see more in future volumes.
a quick and cute read. fur parents will surely love this! the art style is also cute. looking forward to read more of it.
THE DOGSSSSSSSSSS SIGHHHH CUTIESSSS
This oh-so-sweet meet cute is your classic opposites attract, except this time they're both die hard dog lovers. Over the top Chiharu is strong willed and personable, with a cutesy calm Rottweiler named Tsubu-chan. Meanwhile super shy (yet large) Kiyotaka absolutely adores his tiny Pomeranian Monjuro. The two manage to keep running into each other on their walks, and eventually their workplaces. It's overall a cute story of two adults finding someone that shares (and understands) their love for their pets. 3/5 stars.
"Pupposites Attract" is a delightful manga that effortlessly blends humor, romance, and the endearing quirks of its canine characters. The story revolves around two main characters, both dog lovers with polar opposite personalities whose paths cross in unexpected ways, leading to a series of charming and often hilarious interactions that highlight the unpredictable nature of love and friendship.
I really enjoyed it, it felt so cute and heartwarming. Also, the artwork in this story is simply stunning. The detailed illustrations capture the essence of each character bringing their emotions and personalities to life.
I don't have pets, but i think it explores perfectly the challenges of personal growth, the importance of understanding and how much can someone love their furry companions. Can't wait to read the next volumes!!
Very cute and light-hearted read.
The dogs communicating and their thoughts were the funniest parts.

This was cute. It's the kind of cute that makes you stare at your phone and smile like an idiot. If someone saw you, they'd think you were blushing over a sweet text from a new crush.
This is a cute, fluffy, slowburn romance between a big, strong man who is lovingly terrorized by his tiny pomeranian and a tiny woman who stands protectively between her massive, intimidating Rottweiler and the horrors of things like loud noises or strangers.
If you want something cute, wholesome, and fun, this is for you. It was a wonderful first read for August, and will definitely make you want to cuddle your puppers close ... until you remember how stinky and naughty they are.
Do you think I said cute enough? Cute.
A very cute, cozy, slow burn romance. They are so cute and pure, I loved them, they complement each other perfectly.
Pupposites Atrract 1 was such a lovely graphic novel! The drawings and the story are both sooo cute and as a lover of dogs it was the perfect read to spend a few hours with.
This is the coziest romance manga I never knew I needed. We follow the story of a man and woman in Japan who meet walking their dogs. We see their encounters both through their thoughts/perspectives and their dogs (yes you read that right, and yes it’s as wonderous as it sounds). I love how the author does such an incredible job of emphasizing how special a relationship can be between a dog and their human. Some flashbacks at the end had me actually teary eyed recalling my experience rescuing my late-greyhound. Cannot wait for volume two, and will be recommending this to every dog mama in my life.
This is usually not my prefered genre, but I needed something to brighten up my mood. I was instantly drawn to this book.
Illustrations are super cute, very precise, original, and perfectly describe the story. Chapters are short and easy to read.
Main characters were lovable, and I really enjoyed small girl and a big dog combination. I usually prefer small dogs, but this big one is adorable. Boy and small dog, of course, too.
Story was original and entertaining.
Instant mood booster! I was sad only, when it ended.
Definitelly reccomend to everyone, who wants to read something cute, happy, and enjoy illustrations with it.
Thank you for being able to read it, it means a lot to me.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for letting me read an advanced copy of this!
This was such a cute read and start to a series I plan on continuing. It took me a bit to get into the small perspective change when the pets were introducing their humans, but when the story shared Chiharu and Kiyotaka's professions, it was just an automatic new favorite. Loved how the writer made the differences extend to other parts of their life and how they communicate. That was nice to see.
Thanks to Kodansha Comics for an eARC provided through NetGalley. The following is my honest and personal review of the book.
I am still new to reading Manga, so I figured a story that includes cute puppies is a good way to get myself comfortable with this format I'm not used to. And I enjoyed it a lot! The art style is absolutely beautiful - even though sometimes I wasn't sure if I was seeing the same character or someone new - but that's on me, not them! And the story itself was so cute! I loved how opposite the couple and their dogs were to each other!! I look forward to reading Volume 2!
Pupposites Attract is a dog manga and quite realistic too, which is nice. Chiharu has a Rottweiler she calls Tsubu and Kiyotaka has a Pomerian, Monjuro. These two love their dogs and the dogs have personalities, but are still normal animals. Chiharu and Kiyotaka meet and soon they start to have feelings for another and we get to see them through their dogs' eyes too. The series is cute and down-to-earth, but still serious and at the same time light and fluffy. The combination is good and the dogs actually look like dogs (mostly). This is a very adult series as the characters ponder about life, work and whatnot. This aspect I enjoyed the most. For me Kiyotaka is slightly annoying, but Chiharu's character was truly refreshing.
The art looks good and works well with the series. This series is truly for animal lovers alike and the romance is slow burning and heartfelt. Gladly the manga isn't full of "how to" knowledge, since those annoy me as the standards of animal keeping are so different in my country compared to Japan. I don't like it when animals are treated like children, put in clothes and such. This gladly avoids those aside from the weird bib.
absolutely in love,
they are really too cute.
The dogs are adorable, and the main characters make me die laughing.
Awesome
4.5
One thing about me is that generally, the only time I get Really Big Dramatic Feelings is when I read... you add in pets on top of that. The odds of me having Big Emotions while I read skyrockets. Which means that I shouldn't be reading this during the day time. I should be saving it for nighttime, which is when I save all my "In My Feelings" books.
Because I got so emotional TWO DIFFERENT TIMES while I read this, and nothing actually sad was happening.
I really enjoyed this beginning to a new series. I thought it was funny and I can't wait to see our two main characters grow and learn more about each other.
Thank you Kodansha for the ARC! all thoughts and opinions are entirely my own
I absolutely adored this Graphic Novel. I am a sucker for anything animal related, It was such a cute, quick and easy read and I will 100% be picking up the rest in the series. Thank you so much to Netgalley for my ARC copy.
First of all, I’d like to thank both NetGalley and Kodansha Comics for providing this arc.
This was insanely cute, I was instantly drawn to this manga as soon as I saw the cover, and I know I shouldn’t “judge a book by its cover” but this is one of those times where I just couldn’t help it.
The drawings were STUNNING, I was absolutely in love and I kept giggling at every close up drawing of the dogs, especially the Pomeranian.
This mis-match concept was both cute and funny, and I loved the little backstory and how the dogs owners acted around their dogs, it was wholesome, in every possible aspect,
Usually this genre isn’t my go-to, but it was nice for a change and I would definitely love to read the next volumes, so I guess I’ll come back for more and I’ll definitely recommend this title to my friends.
Final rating 3,75/5
This was absolutely adorable! I was in a rather bad mood the other night when I randomly decided to pick this up and when I tell you this manga fixed my whole entire night, I'm not even exaggerating. I have since been recommending it to anyone who will listen. It was so, so fun and as a big dog owner myself, I adored Tsubu-chan, and seeing the dynamic between him and Chiharu. And Kiyotaka's lack of willpower when it comes to Monjuro was hilarious! This was such a great first volume; I'll definitely be continuing this series!
