From Japanese publisher Shogakukan, creator Wataru Nadatani, and translator Zack Davisson, Dark Horse is proud to announce the upcoming manga Cat + Gamer, available for the first time in English! The first volume of the series covers the first eight chapters of the series; each chapter is told from Riko’s perspective with each scenario being something like Riko trying to eat dinner or enjoy her gaming but then being distracted by the cat in her home.

He has translated popular manga such as Kitaro, Captain Harlock, Cutie Honey, Devil Man, and Showa: A History of Japan. Riko, a twenty-nine-year-old office worker with an obsession for video games, finds her quiet life upended when she takes in a stray cat in this adorable manga series! Riko herself is kind of annoying, but it's worth dealing with her for how right this book gets all things kitten.We don’t get much in terms of backstory for Riko, but the character is likeable; sometimes when a story has a ‘gamer’ in it, the author tends to just stick with broad strokes: at best it’s someone who just likes games in general but has no particular preferences, or at the worst, someone who’s socially awkward, nerdy and visually unappealing. Cat + Gamer centers on a 29-year-old woman named Riko who lives and breathes video games (She probably reads GamesRadar!

We're taken along as she navigates tricky things like how to continue gaming with a cat getting in the way, what to do about fleas, and learning that the most expensive toy isn't necessarily the best option.I'm really glad I picked it up from my library and gave it a try because after a really busy day, I found this a great manga to read and unwind. She's got a reputation at work, but she doesn't care--once closing time hits, she's off for home, ready to throw on some sweats and get gaming!

There are similar scenarios that unfold throughout this volume, but that is one that made me laugh the most I think! Too many focus on heavily monetised content and too many ads, not to mention the lack Of functios and polish which were present in the older versions. She immediately starts likening it to a video game and "leveling up" her cat skills, which I thought was funny.Based on the instructions given, the free version would recognize the paid version, and give me the same thing I paid for some time ago. Equal parts funny and heartwarming, Cat + Gamer is the perfect manga for cat lovers, gamers, and anyone looking for a lighthearted new read! Because she’s got more important things to do, like play the latest Dragon Sword title and complete all the side quests.
