Kanda is a quiet, kind-natured man who always notices the depths of beauty lurking behind everyday events, and his fateful choosing of Fukumaru is just one example of his empathetic disposition towards others. Manga Bookshelf noted that the book "hits you in the feels" and praised the quality of its storytelling. He is unexpectedly purchased by Kanda, an older man who is recently widowed and who has a distant relationship with his adult children. Lambert deeply regrets allowing such a distance between his son to form that he doesn't know what to do to reach him to where he's happy to help his son being able to keep all five kittens as the first time his son has ever wanted something. 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.

From his initial guilt that he let the cat out to his panicked run out the door, he's almost reliving the pain of his wife's loss again, only now with an added dose of grief because it's his fault (in his mind) that Fukumaru ran out the door. We also get to see snippets of Kanda’s life through his day job, and his regular music lessons to a group of primary school children, who note with infant bluntness that their teacher appears so happy because he no longer plays “sad and dusty” songs.Fukumaru is, fortunately, an indoor cat, and he makes it clear that only "Daddy" can hold and cuddle him. Da Vinci also ranked A Man and His Cat in its annual Book of the Year rankings in 2018 [34] and 2019. Everyone Has Standards: Kanade Hibino, a former rival of Kanda’s, is disgusted with his mother pawning off her unwanted cat Marin onto him, telling her she should never take responsibility for a living thing again if she can't commit to caring for it. 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? Personally, watching this brightens up my day instantly and makes me forget about my worries even just for a while.

Slice of Life: The series centers around Kanda and his cat Fukumaru and the wacky day-to-day experiences they have. They get worried when he seems to be obsessed over a new girl, but he explains he adopted a cat and shows photos. It seems significant in retrospect that I never entertained the possibility of taking the cat to the pound. not discreetly absent herself but sat on the edge of the bed with her back to me, facing rather pointedly away from the scene of debauch, quietly exuding disapproval, like your grandmother’s ghost.In part this is so effective because of the way that the human characters all react to Fukumaru's escape. Well Done, Son" Guy: Geoffroy Lambert is one toward his father, one of the four famous pianists in the world, as he's never been acknowledged (in his mind) by him growing up to the point he even decides to copy Kanda because he's been the only person his father has ever recognized.

Although I loved to bury my nose in her fur when she came in from a winter day and inhale deeply of the Coldcat Smell, the cat did not like this one bit, and fled. Self-published as a webcomic by Sakurai before being serialized by Square Enix Manga, the series follows an older widower who adopts an unwanted cat. Not only are you asking for their take on an established story, but you're doing so with the understanding that their vision of it may not be exactly what original series fans are looking f. This volume, however, covers a more difficult topic than most in the series: what happens when an indoor cat gets out and can't find their way back home. The tendency to translate the cat’s speech with puns —“meowy” instead of “my”, “mew” for “you”— takes some getting used to, but it’s the only stumbling point in this quiet but affecting book.

Kanda, in an attempt to move forward in life, decides to visit his father-in-law—a fellow cat fancier—for the first time in a long while. I love my ecchi harem romance fantasy manga but sometimes reading all of that can flood one's tired heart with sludge. The point of view will then switch to Fukumaru’s internal voice, filled to the brim with cat puns, where we get to read his perspective on his hopeless owner’s trials. With ten endings, yuri romance options, and unsettling horror Little Goody Two-Shoes deserves a spot in your visual novel library. Kanda comes home, and the next thing he knows, he's out on the street himself, with no idea how to get home.
