Average rating4
A fluffy, feel-good romance manga for dog lovers! Chiharu enjoys every day with her sweetie of a Rottweiler, who probably weighs as much as she does. Meanwhile, Kiyotaka can't get enough of his fluffy Pomeranian, who barely comes up to his knees. When these two mismatched pairs chance upon each other at the park, they're like oil and water. But, after enough chance meetings, could this turn into an unlikely friendship, or something more? Chiharu's bold personality in a petite frame strikes a contrast in every way to her scaredy-cat Rottweiler Tsubu-chan--and the same could be said for the sturdy but shy Kiyotaka and his outgoing Pomeranian, Monjuro. Yet, for these inseparable pairs, their long walks together are the highlights of the day. One encounter leads to another, and before long, these two unusual duos find their feelings changing... Pupposites Attract is a comforting manga for pet lovers about finding joy in the unexpected, and the importance of bonds with both four-legged companions and two-legged ones alike. Perfect for fans of A Man and His Cat and Lovely Muco.

I just finished reading “Pupposites Attract,” and I immediately fell in love with the simplicity and charm of this story. As someone who adores dogs, I found myself really connecting with the situations presented, especially the dynamic between the two main characters and their completely opposite dogs.
Hono Natsuna's art is subtle yet full of expression, perfectly capturing the personalities of the dogs and the emotions of their owners. The humor throughout the story is light and spontaneous, leading to plenty of laughs and “aww” moments. The reading experience is smooth and well-paced, allowing me to get fully immersed in the story without feeling rushed.
What I enjoyed most was how the narrative highlights the everyday joys and challenges of having a dog, along with the growing relationship between the characters. Even though the plot follows a somewhat predictable path, the execution is so charming that it didn't lessen my enjoyment at all.
That said, I recognize that for those who prefer more complex plots, “Pupposites Attract” might feel a bit too light. But for me, that's exactly what makes this manga shine: it offers a pleasant, heartwarming story, perfect for unwinding and enjoying.
Overall, I loved “Pupposites Attract” and would recommend it to anyone looking for a light read, especially if you're a dog lover like me. I'm excited to see how the story unfolds in the next volumes!
