This was such a cute romance. It starts with a puppy led meet-cute (very 101 Dalmatians), that eventually leads into a hesitant friendship and (maybe?) something more in the future. I loved getting to see the small girl x big dog and big guy x tiny dog dynamics, and the chapters from the point of view of the dogs was adorable. All in all such a fun and quick read, can't wait to continue on with this series.

Such a cute read. Big man/small dog vs small woman/big dog. The dogs definitely fit the characters and I could not picture them with the opposite sized dogs. Tsubu is a big scary dog who is really just a cuddle bug and Monjuro is a spaz! Looking forward to the rest of this series!

The 2 main characters are so different and yet so alike. I love their dogs. So cute and sweet. I love how his little dog has him totally wrapped around it's little paw. And the big tough looking dog is such a softie. I can't wait for the next installment. Keep 'em coming.

Very cute! I really enjoyed the art style and the backgrounds of the characters. I would definitely pick up volume two!

This comic was so adorable and funny. It was easy to follow and the role reversals at the end were a lovely touch.

I really appreciated the translations of names at the end of the comic as it helped clarify some things and gave me a wider understanding of the story.

Overall, it was a binge-able read which had me smiling from ear to ear. I will definitely be looking to read more from this author/series.

Volume 1 of <i>Pupposites Attract</i> starts a sweet and silly story that charmed me. Our two dog owning leads live opposite lives (a shorter woman with a big dog and an athletic man with a tiny dog) but once they start crossing paths, a simple romance begins. Or at least starts to! We’re lighter on characters and plot in this volume then I think I’d like, but it’s a charming walk in the park nonetheless.

A shout out to the translation. I really loved the accessibility of the translation notes throughout the text and a lot of the smaller details, like the dogs’ sound effects being different to register their particular behaviors, were really cool!

This was an easy read and something I would love to circle back to when the next volume comes out!

A manga featuring a dog and their FURrent? Count me in! Overall, I really enjoyed reading it. I can’t wait to read the next volumes. As a FURrent myself, I can relate to the characters, and I must say, it’s all on point! It’s very relatable since I’m a dog mom like Chiharu.

This was absolutely everything! This was adorable! The story was perfect and the art was perfect everything was just perfect! I can't wait until the rest of the volumes come out so I can see how this adorable series goes.

This was a relaxing read with a fun meet-cute premise: While walking the dogs that they love so much, a small woman with a big dog meets a big man with a small dog. Their paths keep crossing as they begin to look forward to running into each other. The two dogs (and their humans!) are super cute and overall it was a fun story. I especially loved the way the manga went into Chiharu's back story and I thought the bonus material at the end was fun. The author achieved the goal of crafting a story that would appeal to dog lovers and romance readers alike!

I really enjoyed reading this manga. Goes to show that you can't always judge a book by it's cover, especially when it comes to people and the size of their pets! I can't wait to see the relationship blossom between the couple and their doggos, will be anxiously waiting for volume 2!

This was adorable! I loved the idea that a big man with a tiny dog and a small woman with a huge dog met and just had personalities you wouldn't initially expect. the slow burn here is super cute and I look forward to seeing where this goes from here. I'm not typically a fan of this style of storytelling that's all short chapter segments but I felt like the story flowed well due to this format. Also I just want to say that the art style is so charming in this one. The dogs really did have just a soft and cute quality to them while still looking very accurate to the real life breed so it was rendered really well.

Cute little graphic love story, about pet owners and their pets and the way we come to balance each other out. I enjoyed the characters and the story and the art, very cute. If you love dogs and are looking for a quick something different…this is it 👍 I don’t want to give too much away in the review, but it’s enjoyable, cute and warm. 3.75 stars, rounded up

As a dog person, I had the best time of my life while reading this! It's been a long time since I read a manga, but the story is very easy to follow. There isn't really a plot, just vibes and feel-good moments, but that's exactly why I love it.

I don't know how many volumes this is going to have, I'm so excited to see the love story develop but honestly there's no hurry, Chiharu and Kiyotaka are so cute together and their dogs are absolutely adorable. I already said it but this made me feel so good, it's so heart-warming and I for sure will check out the next volumes!

(The extra stories at the end were such an amazing plus, I forgot how much I love when manga authors make extra content, this is really bringing me back!)

As always, thankful to Kodansha and NetGalley for making this ARC available.

Boy, was this a lighthearted and super cute read! This is Hono Natsuna's English market debut, although there are two other series from her that she started releasing earlier than Pupposites Attract. While I'm at it, I hope Kodansha licenses Kisetai Joushi to, Narenai Buka as well because, a ML that loves cute women's fashion and equally loves dressing up his unfashionable subordinate???? And only a 3 volume series??? I'll eat that up!!

Anyways. This series basically delivers what it promises in the title, and in a sense, it's no easy feat. Making a story enjoyable even when the beats are pretty much the same as any other opposites-attract story is a big success in my book. I don't know how long this gimmick can drive the story ahead, and it depends on the artist's capability of introducing layers to its characters deeper than their clashing strength/physical appearance, but I'm definitely looking forward to continuing reading! Chiharu was an especially relatable character to me as someone who possesses a similar strength, I'm afraid to hold small animals :D... If cute adults and cuter animals are up your alley, and you're looking for a sweet, gorgeously drawn, and relaxing read to cleanse your palate, Pupposites Attract should be 100% your choice.

This book is so cute! The dynamics of the dogs and their owners melts my heart. I cannot wait to see Chiharu and Kiyotaka’s relationship develop more in the next volume!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher.
A cute slice of life with likeable characters and adorable dogs. I really liked the concept of the storyline and could really see how much the main characters loved their dogs.

4.5 stars

The cover got my attention immediately because of the difference in size between the dogs and their owners and it definitely did not disapppoint. I read it in less than an hour and it was just so fun and adorable, a cute story about the love for dogs. I loved how both of them cannot wait to go back home to their dogs and cuddle, that was just so sweet and precious. It was also so funny to see a big guy getting bossed around by a small sassy Pomeranian while the girl had no problem controlling her shy and obedient Rottweiler.
I'm not a big manga reader but this was so easy and fun that I'll probably continue because I have to know how the story between Chiharu and Kiyotaka continues.

This was such a cute read! I can’t wait to keep going with this series. Tsubu and Monjuro reminded me so much of my own two dogs, especially Tsubu! I can’t wait to see where the romance that started out here is going to go. Definitely highly recommend this manga if you’re looking for a cute and fluffy read! Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for an ecopy

Chiharu loves her Rottweiler and can't imagine how someone could have a small dog, while Kiyotaka has a Pomeranian and can't imagine what its like to have a big dog, the two meet and are very unsure at first, Chiharu feeling uneasy around such a small dog worrying that if she had one she'd hurt it, and Kiyotaka feeling a bit intimidated by the large Rottweiler. They begin to see each other more often and start to become friends.

So so adorable! I loved this one.
Both dogs were very cute and I really liked the main characters, such a wholesome manga.

Thanks Netgalley for a copy in exchange for an honest review.

These two need to get together like now. I think this manga is a bit slow but it has a good build up. The doggies are so cute, and the art is stunning.

I got an e-arc of this book on NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
