I Am a Cat Barista #2

The second volume of Hiro Maijima's charming series presents its dapper feline protagonist front and center — a sharply dressed cat in a vest and collared shirt, delicately cradling an elegant tea cup with an air of refined confidence. Those piercing golden eyes and the ornate bolo-style brooch at the collar make for a cover that's equal parts sophisticated and utterly endearing. If the premise of a cat with serious barista energy didn't already win you over, Maijima's warm, softly lit artwork here will seal the deal.
