pickI had never read any manga until I recently picked up Cat Massage Therapy (THE freaking cutest thing I‘ve ever seen!😻) and loved it. I came across this entire series in a section called Librarian‘s Pick and this is equally adorable! Calling all cat lovers, Chipper gives 2 paws up! 🐾 5⭐️

pickKittens and toe beans!!
I would've gave this a four star except they put ads in the comic for the TV show for this comic. Bad taste. Besides that bump in the road, the story was great as usual as well as the graphics. Geoffrey who is Kanda's old piano friend is coming to visit and along the way he finds unwanted kittens. Well of course, he has to rescue them and bring them over to Kanda's house! Love the kittens!
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ One of my favourite reads of the year so far, a seamless magical realism about love, family, and coming-of-age. #magicalrealism #heartwarming #powerfulwomen
pickEven more dramatic revelations in this installment! Geoffroy Lambert has the spotlight this time as we learn about his childhood and his complicated relationship with his father. We also observe the healing power of a box of kittens. AGH the kittens were so dang cute!
pickSecond in series, Beth and Chanda are gearing up for their first dance. Trying to find perfect outfits is stressful enough (and triggers body doubts in Beth), but when Chanda gets the idea that they need dates into her head everything gets worse. Family drama goes on in the background and Chanda makes some questionable interpersonal choices that require multiple apologies. Another good installment.
pickWhat an emotional story! I basically spent most of the book sobbing because Fukumaru went missing. I've known several people who've had cats run away (all of them came back), so I could well imagine how panicked Mr. Kanda was and how scared Fukumaru was :( The afterword story was very sweet.
pickAm I ever going to rate a volume of A Man and His Cat other than 4 stars? I really love this series. In this volume, Mr. Kanda‘s music rival also gets a cat, so they bond over their pets. Mr. Kanda also learns how to enjoy music in a live setting, which is heartwarming.
pickSuch a cute series! This volume shows us more of Mr Kanda‘s past as a concert pianist and of Fukumaru‘s early life with his siblings. We are also introduced to a younger musician who was inspired by Mr Kanda to go into music.
Just a person and their dog reading A MAN AND HIS CAT. The series is still very sweet, and it‘s acquired a little more depth now I‘m at the point where it switched from Twitter serialization to magazine serialization. Hurray for longer chapters (plus lots of little vignettes that‘ll be familiar to anyone who‘s ever loved a pet)!
