Dog × Cat (Japanese: わんことにゃんこ, Hepburn: Wanko to Nyanko; lit. "Doggy and Kitty") is a Japanese manga written and illustrated by Yoshimi Amasaki. It is licensed in North America by 801 Media which released the manga in November 2009.[1]

Plot

It tells the story of two very different high school boys, Atsu and Junya. Atsu, who is often compared to a dog, is friendly, loyal, and a bit naive. Junya, on the other hand, is more like a cat—aloof, independent, and somewhat cold. Despite their contrasting personalities, the two boys are drawn to each other, leading to a developing romantic relationship. The manga explores their growing bond, the challenges they face in understanding each other's differences, and the tender moments that bring them closer together.[2][3][4][5][6]

Reception

Rachel Bentham, writing for Active Anime, enjoyed the artist's conceit of having the characters suddenly "sport cat ears or dog tails" respectively for comedic effect.[7] Jennifer Dunbar, writing for Pop Culture Shock, was impressed by the inclusion of a condom and by one character offering to be versatile because the other is uncertain about having sex with a man, but was disappointed at the too-easy forgiveness of the rape at the end of the manga.[8] Julie Rosato, writing for Mania, felt that most of the manga was "pure, shiny, A-grade fun", but felt that Junya's uncertainty and his rape of Atsu was out of place.[9]
