Personal Opinion
I won’t be able to host this, so we’ll need a volunteer if this gets picked. But I saw a review on Natively, and from how accessible this manga is, it sounds like it would be a good fit for this club’s level. If you’re a dog lover, own a dog, are away from your dog, miss your dog dearly, love animals, or enjoy looking at cute pictures of animals being silly, then this would be a perfect feel good manga for you.
Pros and Cons for the Book Club
Pros
- Not text heavy at all with only 153 pages so it’s a good pick after a more challenging read and can be read at a faster pace
- Full furigana available
- 10 volumes available and the set is currently on sale for 20% on Bookwalker until 03/31 if you see yourself wanting more cute doggie goodness.
Cons
- Since the text is pretty limited it’s not really the best for learning per say.
- There doesn’t seem to be a true plot that drives the story - mostly slice of life interaction between guy and his dog, so their might not be much to discuss beyond the cuteness of the dog.
- The dog is the center point of interest in the manga so if you’re not very fond of dogs then this might not be interesting to you.
