I wanted to write a back story about how I received a book in the mail from some friends. It was going to be epic, but then I realized I would take too long and I really wanted to write about the book I just read. So, I am going to do that in stead and save the story of Dave and Crista for another time, when I can put it into a proper iambic pentameter it deserves.
I just finished reading Junji Ito’s Cat Diary: Yon & Mu and now I need to go hug my cats. It is an incredibly sweet story from a well known horror manga artist. The art style is exactly what you would think a horror artist should look like, and it completely adds to the charm of story in a weird way.
After my husband finished the book, vet appointments were required for both of our cats and mandatory cuddling. (The vet appointments were to verify that both of the boys are in good health and will live a good long time, and not because there is anything wrong with them. This is a prime example on how books influence life.)
IF you love cats, I would highly recommend this manga. It is balm to a cat lovers soul and in some ways it really illustrates what it is like to share living space with furry divas. The art is creepy but that is part of its charm, and it immortalizes the relationship between cat and human and how ownership works. In some ways I felt like I was reading out the adventures of my own two fur beasts.
I don’t think a blog post about a manga about the adventures of becoming a cat owner would be complete with out me sharing a couple of pictures of Dib and Iggins.
