This manga is a diary of the author’s life as he tries and often fails to connect with his two feline friends.

She names the kitten Mu, since he will be the sixth cat her family has kept, with her mother's cat, Goro, being the fifth. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.First there’s Mu a kitten who seems harmless enough, perhaps even cute, but then Mu is joined by A-ko’s full-grown cat Yon. Little did he know…his blushing bride-to-be has some unexpected company in tow—Yon, a ghastly-looking family cat, and Mu, an adorable Norwegian forest cat. I feel that without prior knowledge of his works, this will come off as just a bizarre little book and many won’t get the joke. I’ve read almost everything of his that has been released in America (still waiting for my husband to finish one anthology so he can lend it to me). Is there anything spookier than a silent feline, eyes glinting, stalking you in the night…IN YOUR OWN HOME?

Ito captures that strange part of human nature where we will see something so cute that we just want to… destroy it.

Style [ edit ] J-kun attempts to play with the cats, to no avail; his mouth becomes more horrific as he fails to capture their interest. Nevertheless, upon graduation he trained as a dental technician, and until the early 1990s he juggled his dental career with his increasingly successful hobby — even after being selected as the winner of the prestigious Umezu prize for horror manga.
