おじさまと猫 [Ojisama to Neko] #1

A middle-aged man in a brown suit and red tie cradles a chubby, black-and-white cat with an endearingly grumpy expression — and the warmth radiating between the two of them is immediately charming. Umi Sakurai's Ojisama to Neko launches here with this volume, and that cover alone makes a quiet, heartfelt case for the series' central relationship. If you've ever had a soft spot for unlikely bonds and gentle storytelling, this is a wonderful place to start.
