Whatever the reason, cat comics have a much longer history of English translations than dog comics. That doesn’t mean there aren’t—The end of the world with my dog and Inuzuka: crazy about dogs All in English, and that doesn’t even include series like this Pet Vet Yuzu Its peripheral focus is on canines. (We should probably avoid asking Teacher Pan Can. seven seas Translating alone. Luckily for us dog owners, Kodansha Appeared, holding labeled stick puppet attractiona cute romantic comedy based on the joy of canine companionship.
The story of the first volume is quite light. It tells the story of a petite woman and her large dog meeting and interacting with a large man and his small dog. The dogs in question are Rottweilers and Pomeranians, which creates a significant visual difference, further exacerbated by the fact that Chiharu puts a spiked collar on Tsubu, while Kiyotaka puts a frilly bib on Monjuro difference. However, both devices are incompatible with the dogs’ personalities – the large, dark-skinned Tsubu is a shy, fearful cat, while the fluffy little Monjuro is the most outgoing and energetic dog in the world. The same goes for their people: Chiharu is tough, while Kiyotaka is shy and introverted, making this story more than just a swap of opposites in a pun-filled title.
Whether or not you are a creator Hanano Shana As intended, this story does a good job of dispelling assumptions about the two dog breeds. (They say in the author’s note that while they love dogs, they don’t own one.) While Rottweilers can be aggressive, they were originally bred to be herding dogs or cart-pulling dogs in their native Rottweil, Germany. Working dogs, and some of what we today understand as “watchdog” behaviors are more of a herding dog mentality, although they may be territorial. But breeds are not set in stone and ultimately it all comes down to training and personality. Tsubu was raised by Chiharu and her father, who is a dog trainer. Tsubu is well behaved and very obedient because he was trained by someone who knew what they were doing. The Monjuro, on the other hand, is a toy breed (meaning tiny) that is descended from the Spitz dog family. While Spitzes may have once been working dogs, they have been bred as lap dogs for centuries, unlike the Spitzes. Very different. What’s more, Monjuro was raised by someone with no experience training dogs, and as Chiharu noticed, it was more like Monjuro trained Kiyotaka than the other way around. To be clear, they both love their dogs, they just have very different experiences as dog owners, and it shows well in the puppy’s behavior.
Frankly, the dogs in this book are funnier than the humans – even though they’re not andIt’s fun as a character. What’s more, from their seemingly opposite looks and personalities to their jobs, they’re somewhat predictable. Chiharu feels like she gets more page time, though that might just be because she’s the more compelling character; Kiyotaka is so shy that even when he’s the focus, he almost disappears from the page. This is consistent with the opposite concept of volume trading, which is certainly an interesting angle. It feels like the creators had more investment in Chiharu and Tsubu than the other dog/human pairs.
As with any comic using real, recognizable dog breeds, the dogs have to be well drawn, and in that regard, this book is an unqualified success. If you’re older, you may have noticed that Tsubu’s tail was not docked (amputation); this used to be the breed standard for Rotties, and luckily, more humane practices prevailed – and today, this practice is practiced in many countries is completely illegal and you rarely see it anymore. The story also does a good job of acknowledging people’s reactions to the two dogs, with strangers being more willing to interact with Monjuro than Tsubu – something Chiharu, who is portrayed as a very responsible dog parent, mentions several times.
But all these details are just the icing on the cake—puppet attraction At its heart, it is an ode to the love between man and dog. There are brief sections in the book from the puppy’s perspective that are both delightful and not-too-cute, designed to let readers know that dogs love their owners as much as their owners love them. This is a Dog Man comic similar to many Cat Man comics, and if you have a dog-shaped space in your heart for a new comic series, then this is worth your time.
