A Man and His Cat 1 | Umi Sakurai

I was hoping to post this yesterday to keep on track with my #100DayProject2025, but after I sprained my ankle🙄, my day kinda went off the rails. Anyway, this was a sweet story about a cat and a man, both in need of each other, and their early days together. I haven‘t read manga in a while and it took me a minute to get the hang of it again! But once I did, I really enjoyed this. Looking forward to the next in the series. 💜🐾 3/50

MemoirsForMe Oh my! Hope your sprain is getting better. I guess all that dancing on tables after retirement might not be the best idea. 😁🤭😉 1d

PurpleyPumpkin @MemoirsForMe Oh I WISH that was how it happened! It was much more prosaic, I caught the corner of a patio stone when I came down a step. Grr!!! 1d
RoyallyReading I've been noticing a rise in manga series that involve cats. My local library is full of them. I've seen at least 6 - 8 different titles with “cat“ in them 😹 22h
MemoirsForMe Whatever story you want to tell is ok by me! 😂 😉 Keep feeling better! 21h
PurpleyPumpkin @RoyallyReading How interesting! I‘ll have to look into other cat series. I started collecting these books some time ago and just got around to reading them now. 😅 I was surprised to learn that there are now 13 books in this series! I‘ve got the first 5. Lots to look forward to I guess!😁 8h

Giggles aplenty. 😁
Highlights from this volume include:
Woman huffing kitty cat, then adopting/absconding with the one in the cat cafe that reminds her of her husband
Medical professional critiquing the drama set up by Tatsu and Miku to entertain a kid in the hospital
Of COURSE, the continuing adventures surrounding a retired mob boss and his darling dog Pinky
Competitive haiku with the adorable father-in-law along for the ride

Absurd in a way that leaves me grinning.
Fave of this volume was of course dogs + mobsters episode.
Other highlights include:
Food that transports via sense memory people back to moments in their past that wreak emotional devastation in the most entertaining way possible
The flair with which house husband and nerd team up for the pursuit of prizes
Poor Masa repeatedly ending up that worse for wear thanks to the power couple's good intentions

Superb silliness continues...
Highlights include:
Halloween costume contest
Fighting a cold with memorably aggressive imagery
Could NOT stop cringing during the attempts at rap, I think that was intentional?

This one was okay. Basically the story is about Fukumaru wanting alone time with his daddy and a break from all the kitties. Still adorable and love the graphics.

The outlandish fun continues. 🤪
Highlights for me in this volume include:
Cat chase while errand running- the ending! 😍
Volleyball rematch calling on the power of princess and wife 😉
Bonus story where Miku critiques her own dream's internal logic/premise for a magical girl transformation story 😆

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“The Apothecary Diaries: Volume 1” wasn‘t what I was expecting, but I think that it‘s interesting enough that I‘ll end up picking up the next book!
