I am not normally a fan of "slice of life" manga or manga in which each page is basically a different story, but this one was super cute and I actually would read another volume of it, if it existed. I loved the artwork, I love that it was in color. I would absolutely recommend it to young teens/tweens.

Enjoy the kawaii antics of one of Japan’s native dog breeds: the Shiba Inu. The artwork is adorable and the four-panel comics make for a quick, fun read. In the future, I would like longer stories, now that the characters and their personalities have been established. Still, this is a promising start to a cute new series.

This is too cute and laugh out loud funny because this is exactly what dogs are like!

I loved the illustrations for this book! It was cute and fun and reminded me a lot of how my own dog acts (she's a corgi though). Very relatable for a dog owner, but I wish there was more of a story connected to this than just one page comics that were unrelated to each other.

Very important read. Haven't read something as cute and funny as the cryptid club in a while.

Thanks to my sweet sweet hubby for gifting me this one for Christmas! One of the manga I have had my eyes on for a while now and I am so excited I got it and was able to read it! This was a hilarious, silly, weird, super adorable, cute, fun and funny 4-koma about Shiba! From getting stuck into tubes to spinning your tail to sneaking in the beds of the owners to more silly adventures that made me laugh/snicker, I had so much fun! The art is fun and I also love the little shiba on each page in the bottom corner~
OH, and several comics were definitely relatable with how Coco is. XD

A sweet and funny collection of 4 panel comics about silly shiba inus. It's cute and I think animal lovers of all ages will enjoy spending time with these adorable pups.

So adorable!

So cute, and well-observed of dogs in general

[Krissy · Rating 3 out of 5]

It was fine. Nothing spectacular but nothing terrible either. The art is super adorable, but the jokes and story bits were inconsistently interesting.

This was ADORABLE! Reading it was like wrapping myself in a warm, fuzzy blanket during a thunderstorm. It made my life better.

Cute and simple little 4 strip comics for any dog lover.

4.8/5

Cuteness overload!

[Sesana · Rating 4 out of 5]

Really cute dogs actually acting like dogs. I recognized a lot of these behaviors, which is really what makes the humor land.

[Kathryn · Rating 5 out of 5]

Sooooo cute

[Mike Harris · Rating 3 out of 5]

Fun manga about shiba inu, despite near really interacting with one, a lot of the behaviors were related to my chihuahua.

[Lee · Rating 4 out of 5]

Not a long read but a really cute read

[Heidi Burkhart · Rating 5 out of 5]

Just the best! I hope that there are more volumes to come.

[Paulina · Rating 4 out of 5]

So cute! Loved this little book, quick read and cute dogs :).

[Villain E · Rating 4 out of 5]

What the title says. Four-panel cartoons about a pair of cute shiba inu. My kids read this in one sitting.

[jenny · Rating 3 out of 5]

Cute 4 Koma, but some of the humor didn’t land for me.
