Today's post is on A Man & His Cat, volume 1 by Umi Sakurai. It is 148 pages long and is published by Square Enix Manga. The cover is yellow with the man and the cat on it. There is no foul language, no sex, and no violence in this manga. the intended reader is someone who wants a sweet pet story. The story is told from third person close of the two main characters. There Be Spoiler Ahead.
From the back of the book- A kitten languished in a pet shop, unwanted and unloved. Even as his price drops with each passing day, no one spares him a glance unless it's to call him names. Having practically given up on life, the kitty himself is most shocked of all when an older gentleman comes into the store and wants to take him home! Will the man and the cat find what they're looking for... in each other?
Review- This is a wonderful manga but you are going to cry while reading this. Fukumaru, which means basically good fortune/joy, has decided that no one will ever love or want him to be their cat because he is not as cute as other cats. But one day an older gentleman come into the shop and picks Fukumaru. Then this manga becomes about their life together. It is sweet, the art is good, and if you are a pet owner you will feel this story in your heart. The opening is a little sad with Fukumaru being so lonely but that changes quickly and he comes to love and trust the man, Fuyuki Kanda, who needs Fukumaru just as much as Fukumaru needs Kanda. I love everything about this manga, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. The next volume cannot come out soon enough.
I give this manga a Five out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this manga with my own money.
