デキる猫は今日も憂鬱 [Dekiru Neko wa Kyōu mo Yūutsu] #5

Volume 5 of Yamada Hitsuji's charming slice-of-life series brings another delightful cover pairing: a towering, apron-clad black cat carefully balancing a tray of small dishes stands beside a slender young woman in an olive coat, the two of them sharing a quietly warm moment against a soft, paw-print-dotted background. The contrast between the oversized, domestically capable cat and his unassuming human companion captures the gentle humor at the heart of this series perfectly. If you've been following their everyday adventures, this volume looks like another cozy, smile-inducing installment.
