But, little did Sylvia know that the charming handsome prince was no angel but rather a devil in disguise!
The calm, kind and good-hearted Sylvia found herself slowly changing under the devil's influence but worst of all, she found herself becoming more and more addicted to the two-faced devil who harbored dark and dangerous secrets.
But could she ever fully trust the shameless devil? Or was he just one of the many who desired her hidden powers? Let the games begin!
.......................
Excerpt:
"Are you getting ready for your engagement, my sweet kitten?" The devil's familiar voice drawled, making Sylvia's entire body tingle with an unfathomable need.
She gazed into his dark coal black eyes, lost within them, as he rubbed her lips with his thumb. This man... This man in front of her alone had the power to make her knees weak and her heart crumble.
"Heh. Being silent, are we?" The devil chuckled, his hand moving away from her lips to the back of her head. He clutched a handful of her soft silver hair and pulled her closer to him, capturing her lips with his.
Sylvia snapped out of her trance and commanded her body to push the devil away but her traitorous body only yearned for him more and she wrapped her hands around his neck instead.
The devil's lips curved upwards, his grin widening in satisfaction. His hand then moved down to her gorgeous engagement gown laced with diamonds and rubies which came undone as soon as he touched.
The laces, the veil, the flowers, the jewelry, everything was ripped to shreds, leaving behind only herself. An entire morning spent on getting ready and dressing up gone to waste just like that!
"You!" Sylvia glared at the shameless devil angrily. She had given him an inch but he went for the mile!
She pushed him away with all the force that she could muster, pinning him against the wall, imprisoning his rude mannerless hands.
"Heh? Why are you angry, my darling? Aren't I helping you? Why waste your time attending the meaningless engagement, when you already know that you belong to me and me alone?"
"Go to hell! Who said I belong to you! I belong to no one."
"Is that so?" The devil leaned forward, gently knocking his forehead with hers. "Shall I leave then...?" He whispered, his warm breath caressing her cheeks.
Sylvia's face instantly reddened as she couldn't resist the devil's sweet temptations anymore...
She gave into the man's wicked allure and pressed her lips over his, stopping his mouth from taunting her and teasing her any further.

To be honest, the misinformation was the ultimate deal-breaker for me. As a devoted dog lover who has owned dogs all my life and once aspired to become a veterinarian, I was deeply frustrated with Teppei's character. The author seemed to portray him as noble and wise, but he fell flat in the worst way.
Firstly, a pet shop? Seriously? You can't claim to bring happiness to dogs through a pet shop. Most pet shops source their puppies from puppy mills. Even if Teppei personally selected "high-quality" pups, he remains a hypocrite. If his goal was to save dogs, I would have preferred seeing him focus on adopting from animal shelters rather than breeding more dogs, which only exacerbates the pet overpopulation crisis. While this was already irritating, the latest chapter sealed the deal for me.
Teppei constantly belittling Lupin for being a mutt—and everyone else doing the same—was infuriating. While I agree that breeding indiscriminately isn't responsible, selling puppies in a pet shop essentially perpetuates the cycle of puppy mills. Noa being valued solely for her purebred status doesn't justify dismissing Lupin's superior qualities. It seems the author didn't think through her stance against mutts carefully. Additionally, promoting designer breeds as superior while labeling them as anything but glorified mutts feels contradictory. Purebred dogs end up in shelters just as frequently as mixed breeds.
If you can overlook all these stereotypes and inaccuracies, the series might pass the time without boring you to tears. However, it lacks depth and fails to deliver any meaningful message. I wish the author had conducted proper research before writing this story—it could have been an opportunity to promote a positive message about responsible pet ownership.
I finished the entire book in an hour. The artwork was exceptional, particularly the depictions of dogs. Each chapter was distinct, evoking different emotions. Additionally, every chapter included intriguing facts about various dog breeds. I found myself laughing at the humorous antics of Suguri and her dog Lupin. I loved the diverse characters with their unique personalities, but Suguri remains my favorite overall.
I sincerely hope that one day Inubaka will get its own anime adaptation.
The only comparable series I can think of is "All Creatures Great and Small," a remarkable story by an English veterinarian recounting his experiences with animals during wartime England.
What elevates a good story to a great one—whether manga or otherwise—is when the author manages to make you fall deeply in love with a character and evokes a full spectrum of emotions: joy, anger, sadness, and everything in between. This manga does exactly that.
Another standout feature is the artist's extraordinary drawing ability. While many manga artists excel at depicting moe characters or human figures, this creator brings dogs to life in a way I've rarely seen before.
I suppose I got a bit carried away, but every word I said is true. If you haven't already, give this manga a try—it's truly worth it.
Let me just say, the first thing that caught my eye was the fact that it was, unsurprisingly, about dogs. Now, this isn't something I see in a manga every day.
Story:
I won't give too much away, but the story is very engaging because there's a hint of something supernatural. The protagonist has a gentle power or ability. It's very subtle, doesn't delve too deeply, but drops easy-to-understand hints that something intriguing is bound to happen. Since the story revolves around dogs, it might sound like it could be a cheesy read... but in the first volume, I nearly teared up at a certain chapter because of a dog. I can relate to the story and the characters, but more on that later...
Art:
Typically, when pets are introduced in other manga, they look overly stylized and not very interesting. However, the fur, eyes, and posture of the canines in this manga look very professional and incredibly cute. As someone who owns a few pups, I felt that the creator truly captured the spirit and energy of real puppies.
Additionally, the characters are stunning. From their faces to their clothing, they look fantastic.
But what stands out the most for me? The backgrounds. Some artists fall short when it comes to background art, which can be quite disappointing. Backgrounds add a certain element and realism to a comic. So, Sakuragi excels at backgrounds. They are very clean, very detailed, and very captivating.
Characters:
The characters aren't CRAZY about dogs. Meaning, they're not unrealistically obsessed. The main character has other interests, like fashion and such, she just happens to really love dogs... and possesses a strange ability related to them, which you'll discover later.
The male characters are believable. The female characters are believable. It's not overly exaggerated. Except... for when Suguri holds dog poop. That's a little odd, but it could be far weirder.
Enjoyment/Overall:
It's funny, features wonderful artwork, has a touching yet not overly complex storyline, and... it's about dogs! But even if you're not crazy about dogs, you might still enjoy this manga.
