Customer comments on this selection.
 Great book for all yaoi fans!
If you like yaoi, you'll be sure to love this book. It has three different stories in it. The first one about a dog that can turn into a human, the second about to best friends and the third about a goldfish that can turn into a human. All the stories are worth reading (cept maybe the last one, but luckily it was only a few pages long). Its cute, fun and has wonderful drawings. I loved it, all my friends loved it, even my male friends liked it! (and theyre not even gay!)
A good story with some unusual twists
When I first saw this in the bookstore, I didn't think it was very special. The synopsis piqued my curiosity, and I'm glad I bought it. This book is funny, sweet, and romantic, with a few twists I would never have guessed at. The three stories in this volume show that love can come in a wide variety of shapes and circumstances, and that happiness doesn't always come in the package we expect. It's the epitome of "Don't judge a book by its cover". I recommend this book to anyone with an open mind and heart.
 Adorable, feel-good fluff.
Man's Best Friend is a collection of three short stories. The first is about a dog who falls in love with a high school boy, and prays that he might become human so they can be together. The second is the story of two boys who part as children but meet again in college. The third--taking from classic Japanese fairy tales--is about a goldfish who, to repay a human who saved his life, turns human and offers sex as as recompense.
None of these stories are particularly life-changing, but they're not meant to be. Instead, this book is cute. By turns it's hilarious (especially the first story, which will have you laughing aloud), touching and sweet. Above all, it's fun.
I wouldn't recommend this to anyone looking for a serious story or deep meaning. Instead it's a pick me up, a book that leaves you feeling good after you finish. Well worth it.
 It's okay to love your dog...
...but you shouldn't LOVE your dog.
I don't know why I purchased this (morbid curiosity?). I knew exactly what it was about and I passed over it for months before I finally broke down and ordered it.
The title story is about a love affair between a dog and his master. While the drawings were nice (I must admit that Kuro in human form was beautiful! I could have looked at page after page of him in various poses and been a happy-camper.); it was hard to get past the fact that it was a love affair between a dog and its master...a dog...a...DOG?! There was absolutely nothing sexy about this story (aside from the fact that humanoid Kuro was one marvelous piece of eye candy). Kuro was a dog, who acted like a dog even when they were doing the nasty. I have a dog; that's not sexy to me! Aside from the fact that Kuro as a human was really hot; I wouldn't exactly call this story engrossing.
The second pairing is mostly why I gave this book 3 stars (that and Kuro in human form *sigh* soo cute...soo, soo cute...). What could have been a run-of-the-mill tale of childhood friends growing up to become lovers was given a little twist and told with more flair than I expected after reading that sucky first story. This manga-ka really seems to excel at those close-up drawings of the characters faces (ie, the first time Kuro takes human form...and almost every other page he is in human form; Kentaro when he is looking in the mirror and preparing to meet the adult "Kasumi-chan"; Kasumi on the park bench). They are extremely expressive and even Kuro gains a little depth (and did I mention how cute he is?). And Kuro's cameo in "Pinpoint Lovers" was a cute touch.
The third pairing barely deserves a mention. It was some nonsense about a goldfish that turns into a long-haired girly-boy. Who cares?! And, BTW, I like my men to look like men.
Whenever I pick-up this book, I flip through the first story to look at the pretty pictures of Kuro in human form (I refuse to waste my time reading the story again); then I read "Summers Here Again" and "Pinpoint Lovers" (if only Kasumi and Kentaro's story had been longer); and then, I put the book back on the shelf (the third pairing doesn't even exist as far as I am concerned).
Bestiality and Cartoons
The artwork in this volume is extremely interesting, and the stories are cute, although many of them do involve sex with animals.
