I love this manga a lot. The story is so sweet the characters are very funny and loveable, and the art is amazing and makes many relatable scenes hilarious. Junji Ito is primarily a horror mangaka and brings that aspect into this autobiographic slice of life manga about his journey as a first-time cat owner, who, despite what he told his fiancée, is not a cat person. The progression in both his and his fiancée's relationship with their pets is very heartwarming, and I teared up quite a bit at that last chapter . Its a short and enjoyable read, if you're looking with a slice-of-life comedy with a grain of feels, you won't regret picking up this book.
