Summary from NetGalley
Adapted to TV Animation! A Dog in a girl’s sailor school uniform...!?
“Don’t even think about it!” Shiba Inuko san is a 4- panel comic strip
about an ordinary but fun school life of “Shiba Inuko san”, and her
classmate Chako and Naporin.
Nayu's thoughts
This follows the
hilarious mystery of a talking girl dog who thinks she is human, as
do most of her classmates which is hilarious. The one classmate who thinks
Shiba Inuko's a dog is frequently surprised at how human her canine
ressemblig friend is, resulting in a lot of jokes.
There are lots of
distinctly dog-like acts which Shiba Inuko-san does which are claimed
as perfectly normal. I've read other manga with the vertical strip of
4 panels before: it's easy enough to follow and there are many
profound moments in the glimpses into Shiba Inuko's life, as well as
glimpses into Japanese culture. This is a book for when you need to
smile. I haven't yet seen the anime version, but I'm sure it's just as fun!
Suggested read
For a random and slightly not quite human girl check out Suzunari! Vol 1 by Shoko Iwami (Manga, Young Adult, 9/10)
