Among the anime works scheduled to be broadcast next year in 2023, this work "When I Became a Dog, I Was Picked Up by the Person I Loved" is said to be the most radical work. Among the many late-night animation works, this work, which is depicted from the "dog's perspective", can be said to depict radical depictions that cannot be depicted in conventional anime works. There is no other romantic comedy work that depicts a biracial protagonist, which has never existed before, so it is a work that everyone should see at least once. So, this time I would like to introduce the attractive characters that support the attractive setting of this unique work! ! There are no huge number of female characters, which is typical of romantic comedy works, and the story progresses with a very small number of members, so I think it is a very easy to understand work from the perspective of the appeal of the characters, so please check it out!
Pochita CV: Umeda Shuuichirou
The protagonist of this work. I think he is probably the first dog-themed romantic comedy protagonist in anime history. Although he has a calm and gentle personality in the work, he is always confused by his owner's bold actions, making him a character with the image of a small dog.
One day he suddenly became a dog,,,
Pochita, a timid small dog, was not originally a dog, but was originally a human. However, one day, he suddenly realized that he had become a dog. The reason why he turned from a human to a dog has not yet been explained in the story, so you should definitely pay attention to the foreshadowing depicted in the story.
Before you know it, you've become the pet of someone you love,,,!?
I'm sure there are people who have fantasized about becoming the pet of someone they like, and this work can be said to be a realization of the fantasies of some of our readers. Pochita, the main character of this work, is exactly what our fantasies have become.
Numerous lucky perverts
Because the main character is a dog, the female characters in this work are basically defenseless against his gaze. You can enjoy female characters who calmly start taking off their clothes right in front of you, which is impossible in normal manga works! The advantage of having a dog as the main character in this work is that you can enjoy such unusual situations, and it can be said that the biggest difference from the main characters of other romantic comedy works.
The story is told from the unique perspective of a dog! !
By drawing from the perspective of a dog, the female protagonist of this work is basically drawn looking up from below. Therefore, you can enjoy female characters from risqué angles that are not often drawn in normal romantic comedy works!
The voice actor is Umeda Shuuichirou
The voice actor Umeda will be playing Pochita, the first unique protagonist or master dog (?) in the world of romantic comedies! Umeda is a young voice actor who began his career in the 2010s, and this will be his first time playing the lead role in a TV animation! Keep an eye on him and Pochita's performance!
Inukai Karen CV Aizawa Saya
The heroine of this work is a character named Inukai Karen. Judging from her name, she is a character who seems to have a dog, and in the story, she picks up Pochita and becomes his owner. As the title suggests, she is also the woman Pochita had feelings for when he was human.
Most Popular
As the heroine, she has some of the best looks in the series and is always ranked high in the popularity rankings. I'm sure there are many readers who say, "I like Inukai the most." If it were possible, I'd like to be picked up by her instead of Pochita.
She's a pure girl, but...
The biggest charm of Inukai, the No. 1 character in the work, is her yandere personality, which is contrary to her appearance. Her appearance itself is that of a pure girl, which has been popular in recent years, and as her appearance suggests, she is often thought to be a character with a mature personality at first glance, but in fact she is one of the most yandere characters in the work. In the work, she is insistent on drawing attention to herself towards her dog Pochita, and if she feels that Pochita does not love her even a little, she is a very heavy-hearted girl who will thoroughly corner him with words.
Love or ego? Intense bondage,,
As a result, she is one of the most controlling girls in the work, and Pochita, who is already under the control of humans as a dog and cannot escape from Inukai, is sometimes tormented by her excessive bondage. In the work, you can also enjoy (?) the dark-hearted Inukai, so she is an irresistible heroine for anime fans who like yandere characters.
The voice actor is Saya Aizawa
The voice actor who will be playing Inukai, one of the most intense characters in the series, is Aizawa. Aizawa, like Umeda, the voice actor for the main character, is a new voice actor in his 20s, and is expected to have a bright future in the voice acting world! Although he has not yet played many important character roles, he has been brilliantly selected as a main character in this work, so there is no doubt about his talent! Let's keep an eye on Aizawa's performance in the series!
Mike Nekotani CV Mayu Sagara
The protagonist, who has suddenly and unfortunately turned into a dog, and the heroine, a very serious and neat girl who ends up keeping the protagonist. The one who plays an active role as the middleman between these two characters who are too strong is Mike Nekotani. She is a so-called gal who uses bright clothes and gal language, and her strong personality is also a factor that causes an excess of information and confusion in this work, which is filled with unique characters. Each character has such a strong personality that it takes a long time to absorb them, this work...
Hates dogs
As her name suggests, Nekotani-san is a cat lover who hates her brother's dogs, and in the story she shows a unique reaction to the protagonist, who is a dog, by being overly scared. In the story, the opposing reactions of the heroine Inukai, who is overly concerned with the protagonist, and Nekotani-san, who is overly scared of the protagonist, are contrasted, which adds a nice spice to the story's progression.
A character who is the complete opposite of Inukai-san
As you can see, Nekotani-san is a character who is the complete opposite of Inukai-san in terms of appearance, personality, and attitude towards the protagonist, but in this work, Nekotani-san, who is the complete opposite of Inukai-san, plays an active role, making it possible for him to cover the fans of male readers who are not very interested in Inukai-san. In this respect, the character Nekotani-san shows the attitude of this work to cover all the tastes of male fans as much as possible.
Contrasting interactions with Pochita
As mentioned earlier, her interactions with the main character Pochita are completely opposite to Inukai's, so be sure to pay attention to the contrasting reactions of these two to Pochita! In the anime version, you can enjoy an even more realistic interaction between Nekotani and Pochita, thanks to the voice actors' performances!
The voice actor is Mayu Sagara
The voice actor Sagara will be playing Nekotani, a character who contrasts with Inukai. Sagara is also a voice actor who has been active since the 2020s, and can be said to be a promising newcomer. Like Umeda and Aizawa, she is a fresh voice actor, so with this trio of new voice actors at the core of the work, it will be exciting to see what kind of work it will become!
Tsukishiro Usagi CV Kosakai Yurie
Following the heroine Inukai and Nekotani, who has a personality that contrasts with Inukai, comes this character Tsukishiro Usagi. At first glance, this character's name could be mistaken for Tsukino Usagi from Sailor Moon, but she has absolutely no Tsukino Usagi elements, so don't get confused!
A third character suddenly appears
Tsukino is a character who appeared some time after Inukai and Nekotani appeared. She suddenly appeared in the Inukai/Nekotani system, which had established one of the most popular characters in the work, and with her overwhelming looks and position as a devoted junior character, she established her own popularity without being inferior to the unique pair of Inukai and Nekotani.
She had feelings for Pochita when he was human
Tsukino had feelings for Pochita when he was human, and is a character who still has feelings for Pochita in his original form, not for Pochita as a dog. However, on the other hand, her feelings for him are also quite exaggerated, and she sometimes does strange things that a normal woman would not do because of her feelings. Hmm, I guess there are no ordinary women in this work after all...
Usagi, who likes Pochita when he is human, and Karen, who likes Pochita as a dog
In addition to the difference in Inukai and Nekotani's attitudes towards Pochita, Inukai and Tsukino are depicted as having feelings for Pochita as a dog, or for Pochita before he became a dog. It is clear that the roles of all the female characters in this work are clearly defined, and each is set in a contrasting position.
Voice actor is Yurie Kosakai
The voice actress Yurie Kosakai will be playing Tsukishiro Usagi, who is also the dark horse of this work. Kosakai is also a voice actress who has been active in this work since the 2020s, so all the voice actors of the main characters who appear in this work are in their 20s! It can be said that the fact that there are many new voice actors in this area is also something to look forward to in this work.
