As part of their Anime Expo 2022 announcements, visual novel licensor, localiser and publisher Sekai Project confirmed they are continuing their relationship with developer NEKO WORKs and bringing two of their upcoming titles to western markets in the future. These two new projects are INUPARA: Dog’s Paradise, and NEKOPARA After: La Vraie Famille. You can read about each of them in more detail below:
INUPARA: Dog’s Paradise
After spending years getting to know the world full of catgirls and catboys, get ready to dive into an alternate universe where “man’s best friend” now comes in human form. The universe of INUPARA finds the player in control of a protagonist placed in another world where humanoid dog girls are a normal aspect of everyday life.
Transported to another world?! Our protagonist is sent to a world with humanoid dogs!
He’s a young man that’s attending college while working part-time as a pet groomer.
lthough he lives by himself, he has two dogs—a Pomeranian named Tanpopo and a Shiba named Himawari. One day, Tanpopo and Himawari randomly turned into humanoid girls. The dogs from his sister’s and his parents’ place come to live with him as well, which causes him to panic. As he freaks out, a girl with the same name as the Corgi he kept at his parents’ house in his childhood, Botan, starts to talk about things only he and Botan would know, which ends up slowly convincing him.
As expected of someone who works part time as a pet groomer, his brushing skills are top notch. He’s skilled enough to even cut hair if he wanted. However, since he doesn’t have the qualifications, he only gives cuts to the dogs at his home.
He’s always had his older sister, a master coddler, trying to smother him since childhood, so he has the skills to deal with girls and dogs with slightly difficult personalities.
Meet the Dog Girls
NEKOPARA After: La Vraie Famille
NEKOPARA After: La Vraie Famille takes place following the events of NEKOPARA Volume 4, as an extra chapter focused on Fraise and Shigure. Fraise is a catgirl who made her debut in volume 4 who is entrusted to the protagonist, Minaduki Kashou. It also focuses on the protagonist’s little sister, a recurring support character in the series.
Having recognized Minaduki Kashou talents in running his patissiere, Beignet felt her role was over as she closed La Soleil in France and entrusted Fraise, the catgirl she raised, to Kashou.
Fraise has a fondness towards Kashou but becomes bewildered in the face of his 6 catpanions. She turns to Shigure for advice but she too harbors a hidden love towards him. Fraise feels that the relationship between siblings is most important while Shigure feels the happiness of her catgirls is what is most important.
With the motive of making sure the other is able to fulfill their love for Kashou first, the battle between catgirl and girl begins!
