The manga that will be animated next year in 2023 is sure to be the most radical work, "When I Became a Dog, I Was Picked Up by the Person I Loved". The story is about a protagonist who suddenly turns into a dog, who is accidentally rescued by a girl at school whom he has a crush on, and they end up living together as a pet in her house. While there are many manga works that draw readers in with their extreme depictions, this work makes full use of the setting of the protagonist turning into a dog, and challenges itself to depict extreme depictions that other manga works cannot depict. There are many depictions that are so extreme that even readers who read it will say, "If this wasn't a dog, it would definitely be out of line!", and it can be said that this work has gained cult popularity among some manga fans. In this article, I would like to delve deeper into the setting of "dog's perspective", which is the greatest feature of this work, which is a work that has taken such extreme depictions to the extreme. This setting is the greatest appeal of this work, so if you are an anime fan who is interested in this work, please check it out.
The lives of beautiful girls depicted from a dog's perspective
To sum up the content of this work in one sentence, it would be "The lives of beautiful girls depicted from a dog's perspective." In a normal romantic comedy, the female characters are often depicted from the perspective of the male characters, who are at the same height, but in this work, the main character is a dog, so the female characters are depicted from the dog's perspective. Therefore, you can enjoy the lives of the female characters from a perspective that you cannot experience in a normal romantic comedy.
"XX is my dog (for real)"
Also, the protagonist in this work has become a real dog, so you can actually hear "XX is my dog" from a female character, which is common in extreme romantic comedy works. I myself never thought that a work would come out that depicts this line as a real dog, rather than being treated like a dog, so one of the features of this work is that there are many developments that make use of the protagonist's dog-like characteristics.
What kind of idea does it take to come up with this?
In this way, this work is a work that generates and depicts a huge number of ideas from just one idea: "What if the main character was really a dog?" What kind of idea does it take to be able to draw such a novel idea? It's a work that makes you take your hat off to the author just by reading it.
It's not a dirty work at all! It's just a dog and a beautiful girl interacting!
The way this work is drawn is also excellent. This work is not at all lewd in appearance, but is drawn simply as a work in which a dog and a beautiful girl are touching each other. Therefore, readers who feel even a little lewd after watching this work will enjoy it even while being tormented by the guilt that "it is their own fault for thinking this work is lewd."
It smells very dangerous
In this way, the work is written with the stance of "Eh? This is not a dirty work at all. If you think it is dirty, it's because you are looking at it wrong," so as the story progresses, it becomes more and more extreme. By accepting that it is a work about a dog and a girl playing, it has succeeded in depicting extreme scenes that cannot be drawn in normal manga works.
It will be made into an anime in 2023! !
This work boasts an incredible level of completion as a manga work, and due to its cult popularity, it has been decided that it will be made into an anime in 2023. Since it is a highly complete manga work, how will it be depicted as an anime work? I am very excited about it.
Can it be broadcast on TV?
The only thing that worries me is whether this work, which has so many extreme depictions, can really be broadcast on TV? Even though it is a work that only involves interacting with dogs, there are many developments that would definitely be out of the question if it were a depiction of humans interacting with each other, so I am wondering to what extent it can be broadcast using public airwaves. I really hope that this work's unique stance of "No, no, it's just a beautiful girl and a dog playing around" will be maintained in the anime version as well.
A genius idea! It's OK because it's a dog (?)
The biggest innovation of this work is that by switching the main character from a human male to a dog, it is now possible to depict extreme expressions and situations that could not be depicted before. It will be interesting to see how this work, which boldly uses aggressive expressions that cannot be depicted in a normal manga work, will be depicted in the anime version!
A work that is strictly from the dog's perspective
Of course, the setting of the protagonist of this work being a dog not only allows for radical expressions that cannot be made in conventional works. By drawing the protagonist as a dog, you can enjoy the many attractive female characters that appear in this work from the dog's perspective. Although the female characters are usually viewed from the same height, in this work they are always viewed from below, which is the dog's perspective, so this can also be said to be a unique drawing style that is not found in other works.
A dog and a beautiful girl are just playing, but
Although it is a work in which a dog and a beautiful girl are just playing, it is a work that allows you to enjoy various ingenious points that cannot be made with a normal male protagonist. What's amazing about this work is that it was created with just this one idea: the main character has turned into a dog.
The main character is really treated like a dog (?)
In particular, since the main character in this work is a real dog, there are many scenes in which the main character is treated like a dog. Therefore, this work is perfect for male readers who are in a slightly lower position and want to be treated like a dog by a cute female character!
It's interesting because if he were a human, it would be out! !
Anyway, this work can be said to be a work that breaks through the gray zone using every possible means and takes extremes to the extreme. Please pick up this work and enjoy the expressions that could only be drawn by a dog, which would be out of the question for a human!
The fun of seeing it from a dog's point of view
At first glance, it may seem strange to have a dog as the main character, but did you understand that it is actually an essential setting that was devised to portray the beautiful girls in an attractive way? From here, I would like to dig deeper into the fun and appeal of this work that can only be seen from a dog's point of view.
The perspective of a dog is quite "radical"!!
The dog's perspective is quite radical. If you think about it, beautiful girls' works are often drawn from below or above. This is always the basis for drawing female characters cutely. Therefore, when drawn from the perspective of male characters, who are often taller than women, they tend to always be drawn from above. However, in this work, the main character is a dog who is shorter than a human, so the female characters, who are usually drawn from above in manga works, are always drawn from below.
The framework is excellent and interesting!
This is something that cannot be depicted in normal manga works. By always depicting the dog's perspective, he has succeeded in depicting a unique framework that is not usually depicted in manga works. Even if it is the same depiction from below, there are many situations, so you can enjoy a constantly changing picture.
A must-see for boys who want to be looked down upon! !
For male fans who feel that "usual manga works often depict men looking down on others, which is unsatisfying," this is a truly outstanding work. If you are a man who is attracted to strong-willed women rather than ordinary women, this is definitely a work that you will love.
A hot game of girls over the main character (a dog)!!
Not only the protagonist and the female characters, but also the interactions between the female characters surrounding the protagonist are depicted in detail. Also pay attention to the slightly unusual negotiations between the girls over the pet dog.
Full of lucky perverts! You can't miss this!
And above all, because the main character is a dog, the female characters in this work basically have no sense of "shame". You certainly don't feel "embarrassed" in front of your pet at home, do you? You can enjoy many lucky lewd scenes from the actions of the shameless girls that you can't experience because of such a dog, so please pay attention to the actions of the female characters in their daily lives.
I'm looking forward to seeing how far it will go in the animation! !
As you can see, this work is so complete even just as a manga. It can already be said to be quite complete as a work, so how can such a work be incorporated into an anime club? I'm a little worried.
It may be difficult to draw everything, right?
In particular, as a manga work, it is a work that has many borderline expressions, so even though it is a late-night time slot, it would be difficult to depict everything as a television animation that uses public airwaves. I feel that the most important element in adapting this work into an anime is a sense of balance that satisfies both the fans of this work and the casual viewers who came from the anime version.
Late-night anime, to a new realm! !
In any case, if this work is made into an anime, it will undoubtedly become a divine anime that will go down in history. I am looking forward to seeing how many anime fans will be affected by this work's bold setting and extreme depictions.
