デキる猫は今日も憂鬱 [Dekiru Neko wa Kyōu mo Yūutsu] #12

A capable, oversized black cat and his human companion — both bundled up in matching green puffer jackets and loaded backpacks — stand ready for what looks like a winter outing in this twelfth volume of Yamada Hitsujii's charming slice-of-life series. The cover's warm beige tones and scattered paw-print motifs give it an instantly cozy feel, perfectly capturing the gentle humor at the heart of a story about a remarkably competent cat and the person who depends on him. If you've been following their endearing dynamic, volume 12 looks like a delightful continuation of the adventure.
