A Man and His Cat, Vol. 6

Today's manga post is on A Man and His Cat, Vol. 6 by Umi Sakurai. It is 180 pages long and is published by Square Eniz Manga. The cover has Kanda, Moriyama, and thier two cats on it. As it is the sixth volume in the series, you need to have read the first five volumes to understand the story. The intended reader is someone who likes slice of life manga about living with pets. There is no foul language, no sex, and no violence in this manga. The story is told from third person close of the main characters, including the cats. There Be Spoilers Ahead.

From the back of the manga- Mr. Kanda has come a long way with a little help from his friends—furry and otherwise. So of course he wants to return the favor when Yoshiharu Moriyama, his music school colleague and Fukumaru fanboy, is abandoned by his bandmates onstage! But to help his friend, can Mr. Kanda summon the courage and determination necessary to overcome his own crippling stage fright?!

Review- Moriyama has been set-up by his band, as they don't want to change the direction for the band and he does. But Kanda and the other teachers step in to help him. Kanda is also cat-sitting Fukumaru's sister for his friend, as the friend is traveling. So lots of cute cat playing and sleeping together. It's very sweet. Kanda is growing and changing as he learning to love life and music again. As he regains his love for life, he is helping others handle the hard things in life too. I love this manga, it's just so sweet and moving. I look forward to the next volume. 

I give this volume a Five out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this manga with my own money.
