Pupposites Attract Vol. 02
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?
Rottweiler Tsubu-chan and Pomeranian Monjuro are friends, and they’re leading the way now, pulling their owners Chiharu Kagura and Kiyotaka Tsujii even closer together. Kiyotaka may be a bit shy, and Chiharu a bit reserved, but they can’t deny each other’s charms–and unexpected similarities to their beloved pups! A chance encounter with a stylish young woman and her dignified old Shiba leads to new friendships and discoveries, and inspires Kiyotaka to make a bold move…

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.
