This was very cute and made me feel all warm inside.

It had me hugging all my doggies and made me even more grateful for them.

Would happily check out more volumes with Inu and Neko!
I loved how the author included real life pictures of them too.

This a perfect little book to flip through when you're in a bad mood.

Did I like this book? Absolutely! It had some truly beautiful drawings and the mini stories were so relatable. As a pet owner, I could easily recognize my own furry friends in them!.

This graphic novel was hilarious and well-drawn, definitely worth the money and the hype, and I hope will be successful!

This was a weird manga. It's cute with the dog and the cat and their daily adventures with their owner, but it didn't exactly stand out in the market of pet manga titles out there. It was also hard to figure out an age range for this. It isn't exactly all ages which, in some ways, hurts the title for me. If your library needs more pet manga stories, get this, but otherwise, save the shelf space.

Hidekichi Matsumoto’s With a Dog AND a Cat, Every Day is Fun, volume 1 is an adorable, funny, and lighthearted little book about the joys of daily life with beloved four-legged friends. The art style is simple but adorably charming and the little anecdotes are very relatable.

This is such a pleasant and happy read! I loved each and every relatable panel. The book consists of brief, simple, and easy-to-follow one-shot stories. I like that each story is somewhat self-contained so that you can just flip open the book at any point for a bit of fun and cuteness. Matsumoto sweetly and wonderfully captures the everyday adventures of living with both a dog and a cat. She makes even the most mundane of activities seem so humorous and fun! I loved seeing Matsumoto depict instances like her struggling to find a spot on the bed when the pets have taken over, the pets cheering her up in their own unique way, as well as the horrors of bath and grooming time and, of course, the challenges of taking a good pet picture. These are all familiar situations that pet owners from around the world can definitely relate to.

Inu the happy and excitable dog and Neko the stern and surly cat are really adorable and have very distinct personalities. Admittedly, the pets do have the fairly stereotypical dog and cat personalities but I think it’s true-to-life.

The artwork is simple, clean, and quite cute! Inu and Neko are precious and adorably expressive. Little Hidekichi is just darling and enthusiastic. I really like how the typography matches and nicely enhances things like the pets’ actions and Hidekichi’s emotions. But, I do wish some of the panels were more detailed. I also love that Matsumoto includes pictures of the real-life Inu and Neko!

With a Dog AND a Cat, Every Day is Fun, volume 1 is a cute and entertaining read that will instantly brighten up your day. If you’re looking for a gentle laugh or an easy read, this book is perfect for you. I cannot wait to read the other entries in this series!

Thank you to NetGalley and Kodansha USA for this book in exchange for an honest review. I also purchased my own personal copy.



🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶 dogs out of 5!

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for this digital arc.

I had to dnf this book. It really wasn’t my cup of tea. Some of the pages were really crowded and hard to read.

How adorable that book was! I loved the illustrations and the humour!
I already have a cat at home, this book made me wish to have both, pets are so much fun!

Sweet, adorable and if you’ve lived with a standard cat - you have a strong understanding of the feline antics.
If you’ve got someone in your life who loves cute or is crazy for the kawaii type stuff out there then this will make a great gift .

If you're looking for a lighthearted manga to make you feel good after a hard day's work, then this is the perfect manga for you. The premise and art would be enough to make any pet lover pick it up.

A feel-good look at life with pets. What makes the comic depictions of cat vs dog (and sometimes human) extra precious is knowing that these are based upon the author's real-life furry friends. Cat lovers especially will recognize and be able to relate to the quirky feline behaviours brought to comic life in these pages.

This manga would make the perfect gift for any pet owner or animal lover! The antics between cats and dogs are captured perfectly. I found myself laughing out loud a few times while reading this. I loved it so much that i immediately pre-ordered a copy for my friends birthday. Highly recommend!

Very cute, and since I have a similar sort-of evil cat, I appreciated those sentiments. Who doesn't love a manga that features adorable animals?

This is a lovely spinoff to this series and has the same humour and heart-warming moments. This will be so familiar to pet lovers and those who have had both cats and dogs especially.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher.

Such a sweet and very cute diary of the everyday life living with a dog and a cat. If you have one of those like me you'll really enjoy this and recognize some things that these animals do. They are so funny.
The author captures perfectly what is like to live with a dog and a cat (in my case many cats haha).

The drawings are simple but well done and really cute. I also liked some real life photos of the author's pets that appeared through out the book.

A perfect manga for pet owners and animal lovers.

This was just absolutely adorable! Told in bite sized stories from the POV of a sibling dog-cat pair, With a Dog AND a Cat, Every Day is Fun is one of the truest pet experience slice of life stories. As a person with 3 dogs and 2 cats, I found myself nodding a lot.

It was, as the title says, FUN.

Uma leitura rápida e divertida.
Slice of life que acompanha a realidade de ser dono de um cão e um gato. O cão: bobo, gentil e brincalhão. O gato: esnobe, sarcástico e mal humorado.

This was so adorable. The art is cute and has a nice style. The story is short and sweet. I wish some of the stories were longer.

A cute book detailing the daily lives of living with pets. Everyone with pets or has has had pets previously will love this book and the relatable moments included. A book that is nice to pick up and have a read through each of the short stories.
A book that's perfect for people that love their pets.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

This is an entertaining dip in and out read. There isn’t a lot of story, there are mostly single page everyday moments about living with an adoring dog and stern cat.

For me the art style wasn’t my favourite but as I read more I started to appreciate the charm of it. I think that while cute I didn’t get as much out of this as I hoped.
