女子寮猫のタマさん [Joshi Ryou Neko no Tama-san] #1

A charming opener from creator Haruki, this first volume of Joshi Ryou Neko no Tama-san sets a playful, intimate tone right from the cover — two young women posed close together, one bespectacled and one with warm auburn hair, sharing the frame with a wonderfully unimpressed gray cat who steals the foreground entirely. Published by Nihon Bungeisha under their NC Comics imprint, this girls'-dormitory comedy looks like it balances genuine warmth with lighthearted humor, and that cat's deadpan expression alone is reason enough to turn the page.
