Pupposites Attract Vol. 01

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.

Something for Dog lovers, while cat companions are common in manga, Pupposites Attract offers something for the often overlooked puppy parents. The unique story features dogs as characters central to their human’s lives and focuses on each protagonist’s bond with their pet just as much as their bonds with other humans.
