What's Michael

In this early-2000s German-language reprint series, Egmont Ehapa collected four issues of Makoto Kobayashi’s beloved slice-of-life manga What's Michael?, a warm, observational comedy centered on the everyday antics of a peculiarly expressive orange cat. Originally serialized in Japan, this edition brought Kobayashi’s deadpan humor and deceptively simple art to a new audience, offering a charming, episodic look at feline behavior and the absurdity of human-pet relationships. Though brief, the series stands as a notable European entry point for a classic manga that has delighted readers worldwide with its quiet, relatable charm.
