While cat-themed manga has become quite common, dogs are rarely seen as main characters in manga titles. However, for those interested in a manga featuring dogs, they might find what they're looking for with "Even Dogs Go to Other Worlds" from Seven Seas.
This Isekai (alternate world) manga series, based on a light novel of the same name that started in Japan in November 2020, offers new reading material for Isekai fans in the USA. The first volume was released in May. The story follows Takumi, who collapses from exhaustion and wakes up in an unfamiliar forest, accompanied by his beloved Maltese dog, Leo. Together, they encounter a young woman in distress and a giant wolf, which turns out to be Leo in his transformed state.
The manga introduces us to the world where the protagonist and his dog have landed, but not much action happens in the first volume. It focuses on character introduction and world-building. Takumi seems ordinary at first, but hints of his potential abilities related to healing herbs begin to emerge. Accompanied by Claire, the group embarks on a journey to discover more about these abilities.
The manga maintains a calm and slice-of-life vibe, with occasional smaller fights but no major antagonist introduced yet. The artwork by Hana Ichika is clear and detailed, depicting the rural Isekai world effectively.
Overall, this manga offers a relaxing and light Isekai experience, making it a suitable choice for readers seeking a tranquil Isekai manga. While the characters may still lack depth, the pleasant atmosphere compensates for it. Fans of the light novel may find this manga adaptation a nice addition to the story.
