Horror comics author Junji Ito has recently purchased a new house and has decided to invite his girlfriend to move in with him. However, when she moves in, she comes with two cats - Yon, a strange-looking white cat with a ghastly fur pattern on its back that resembles a skull, and Mu, Yon's cute counterpart and playmate. This is the diary of the author's life as he tries and often fails to connect with his two feline guests.
Junchi Itou may be a horror writer, but this is pretty funny. His own constant, overwrought reactions make him the butt of many jokes. The cats are adorable, leading him from thinking he doesn't like cats to wanting to show how good he at adoring them.
anything with cats will always be 5* for me. this is such a cute lil book.
the ending did break my heart though, i wasn’t expecting that :(
I'm not used to laughing out loud while reading any manga from Ito, but this diary was delightful and from the heart. Still plenty of creepy Ito vibes (snails but no spirals) but a very funny look into his everyday life.
