I have a soft spot for slice of life and pets, so if you write a slice of life about pets, on god I’m gonna read it.

Anyway, MC is a meek cutesy-loving guy with a boisterous Pomeranian. FMC is a strong disciplined woman with a gentle scaredy cat Rottweiler. Major moe gap.

Their approaches to raising and caring for their dogs are opposite, their personalities are opposite, their taste in what is ‘cute’ is opposite, but they’re interested in each other. It’s still on-going so the part I’m at hasn’t revealed anything super romance-y but that’s probably the direction it’s going, though honestly I’d probably continue ... to enjoy it even without added romance. It’s sweet, it’s silly, it’s got dogs.

Review as of Volume 1:
[Gifted a copy on NetGalley in exchange for an honest review]

Volume 1 of Pupposites Attract 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!

Received a review copy from NetGalley.

Basic premise: tall male MC with tiny overactive dog and small female MC with big dog. Think opposites attract.

Art style is cute. Storyline is cute. There isn’t much depth here but it’s a sweet little slice of life story with some added potential romance - I think if you’re picking this up you’re not looking for anything crazy.

The only part that confused me was the obsession with the strength of both characters. At one point the female MC is afraid to pet a hamster because of her strength. I wasn’t really understanding why the mangaka made such a big deal ... out of it.

Overall I enjoyed it and I’d probably check out volume 2.
