A Man and His Cat #1

Against a warm golden background, this first volume from Umi Sakurai introduces a tall, well-dressed man in a brown suit cradling an absolutely round, squishy-faced black-and-white cat with an expression of quiet, delighted affection. The contrast between the serious, distinguished figure and the hilariously chubby feline he holds so tenderly sets a tone that's equal parts heartwarming and gently comedic. Published by Square Enix Manga & Books in 2020, this is a genuinely lovely starting point for anyone who's ever understood the particular joy of loving a cat who is, perhaps, a little too much cat.
