A Man and His Cat, Vol. 5 Umi Sakurai

Today's manga post is on A Man and His Cat, Vol. 5 by Umi Sakurai. It is 164 pages long and is published by Square Enix manga and books. The cover has Mr. Kanda, Fukumaru and Moja on it. As it is the fifth in the series, you need to have read the first four volumes to understand the story. There is no foul language, no sex, and no violence in this series. The intended reader is someone who loves pet and animal stories. The story is told from third person close of the characters. There Be Spoilers Ahead.

From the back of the book- Fukumaru settles in for an evening of watching the house while Mr. Kanda is out on the town. But when he catches sight of a very familiar furry face on the other side of the window, the beloved kitty loses his cool! Upon Mr. Kanda's return home, a bewildered Fukumaru makes a decision he might furever regret! What should have been a pleasant night quickly turns into a nightmare for both the man and his cat! 

Review- Another cute and emotional volume in this series. Fukumaru sees a friend, who is scared and lost, and wants to help. But instead gets himself lost for two weeks. For two weeks Mr. Kanda searches for him and is heart rending to read. They both suffer being lonely and sad but they never give up hope to find home. Mr. Kanda is learning to lean on his friends more and that he is not alone. Poor Fukumaru has the hardest time, trying to keep up his hope of finding home. I teared up, as usual, when reading this volume. This series really understands what it is to love a pet and how painful it is to lose them, even for a moment. 

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.
