Ressler, Karen (4 November 2019). "Japan's Bookstore Employees Rank Top Manga of 2018". Anime News Network . Retrieved 25 February 2020. At first, I didn't expect much from this drama because the premise was so simple and I only wanted to watch it for Kamiki Ryunosuke but as I watch this every week, I realized that the 25 minutes I spend watching this is the most relaxing and happiest 25 minutes I experience every week. The relationship between Kanda Fuyuki and Fukumaru is the purest thing I have ever seen and it warms my heart completely to watch their scenes. This drama will also make you laugh and if you're a bit emotional like me, there are times it will make you tear up as well. Fukumaru goes un-adopted for so long because he's seen as fat and ugly. One visitor even calls him "snotface". Kanda on the other hand believes Fukumaru is adorable.

As for the cat puppet, I know there are some who are hesitating because of it but I swear once you start watching, you won't be bothered by it AT ALL. Plus, Kamiki voicing the cat is quite possibly the best thing ever to happen in this drama. You'll fall in love with cat immediately because of how adorable the voice acting is. As a fan of Kamiki, I'm beyond happy he took up this role because it having him voice Fukumaru just feels SO right. A lonely, exotic cat yearns to be loved and spends every day watching other kittens get adopted before him. One day, an equally lonely old man named Kanda Fuyuki decides to adopt him and names him Fukumaru. Together, Kanda and Fukumaru begin living together. to pamper animals who seem happiest while rolling in feces or eating the guts out of rodents — who don’t, in fact, seem significantly less happy if they lose half their limbs — tells us about I recommend it wholeheartedly.

who couldn’t be expected to care, but at home, alone with the cat, I behaved like some sort of deranged arch-fop. I made up dozens of nonsensical names for the cat over the years — The Quetzal, Quetzal About the cat, Is it a plushy? Is it a puppet? Is it a robot? Is it a CGI? I don't know. I didn't watch BTS. But sometimes it felt convincing and sometimes it didn't seem like a cat at all. Before you decide that you're dropping it merely from this description, however, allow me to reassure you that things do work out for everyone – this is no Where the Red Fern Grows or Stone Fox. But that Sakurai can evoke that anxiety in us is a testament to how well the story is told and the truth of the emotions that the characters express. While we can relate to Mr. Kanda's fear and panic, it's also not hard to fully believe the feelings of the cats as well – how many people who had a cat go on a walkabout didn't believe that the cat was scared and sad? And if you've ever worked to slowly coax a stray to trust you, it's easy to see the fear and worry in the animal's body language. What Sakurai is doing is tapping into both of those sets of feelings, human and animal, and combining them to create a volume that is harrowing on several levels, making the moments when things work out even better.

Loveridge, Lynzee (13 September 2018). "Hifumi's Shijūshichi Taisen Manga Takes Top Prize in Web Manga General Election". Anime News Network . Retrieved 25 February 2020. Parental Substitute: Fukumaru thinks of the old man as his father, with the English translation having Fukumaru calling Kanda "Daddy". The five kittens likewise calls Geoffroy "Meowmama". The art does a particularly good job of helping to show the toll the plot of this volume takes on Kanda and Fukumaru both. As Fukumaru gets skinnier and scruffier the longer he's out, Mr. Kanda's face grows increasingly haggard, the bags under his eyes increasing in depth and darkness as he wears himself to a frazzle. When he finds Moja while looking for Fukumaru and has to make a difficult decision, we can read his despair in his body language. No longer the perfectly groomed elderly gentleman, Mr. Kanda becomes something more human as he grows disheveled, reminding us that he really is just as human as anyone else, something that those around him don't always see or remember.

Small Role, Big Impact: Sakuma posting the video of Kanda performing with Moriyama online is what begins Geoffrey's introduction arc as the video ends up becoming viral to where Gustave learns about the video and talks to his son about it, sparking Geoffrey's long-term envy and resentment of Kanda to decide to copy Kanda's style, so he calls Kanda to stay with him for that purpose when he needs to visit Japan on business, which leads to him being at the right place and time to find the kittens in the box during a rainstorm. Green-Eyed Monster: Fukumaru hates the piano. He thinks that it takes "Daddy's" attention from him. Sitting on top of it gives him power and vindication.
