Actual 3.5 - Very similar to my review of Vol. 2… I enjoyed the story, but I wanted a lighter story and it just felt dark to me. It’s cute, but due to Chi’s naïveté things went from bad to worse in a lot of situations. Maybe that was to create a little drama, but I just wanted more lightness. I plan to finish the series, but if it wasn’t for that last story, I likely would have given this volume 3 stars

I love Chi so much ^-^
Chi is still adorable! I especially like her continued adventures with Cocchi and the fact that her mama and sibling kittens show up from time to time. And I liked that the attempt to walk her on a leash went exactly the same as my attempts to walk my own cat... This manga is very relatable for cat owners, haha...
Whether tagging after new friend Cocchi or getting into more mischief at home, Chi continues to delight. It's fun to watch her horizons expand as she learns more about herself and the world around her, and the illustrations are adorable as always.

I don't really know why I'm giving this book a five star rating, but I've read so many mediocre books this year that I think I'm allowed to think a book is better than it is. My average rating for this year is so much lower than it was last year, and it's because none of the books were really that good, except for the The Legend of Zelda books, which were perfect. But thankfully all the books in this series have been pretty much perfect anyway. You honestly can't go wrong with cat comics, and you can't go wrong with cats in general. They're cute, they have lovely personalities, they are great companions, and they're a lot of fun to hand out with. I am very happy to call myself a cat person, and that certainly didn't make a difference to my rating. I don't think I would have liked the book nearly as much if it had been about dogs. Dogs just don't have the charm and spunk that cats have.
I thought that this book might of been the book where Chi would at the very least meet one of her siblings, but it looks like Konami decided to put all of that stuff in the finale. But Cocchi did get to meet them, and I think he's starting to put things together regarding Chi's family. Although it appears that Chi and Cocchi aren't actually from the same litter, they are practically siblings now. I hope Cocchi is here to stay because Chi needs another kitty friend in her house. My family has always had at least two cats so that they can keep each other company, and seeing as the Yamadas were keeping her as an indoor cat it was extra important that she would have something else in her life to keep things interesting. But to be fair the Yamadas are new cat owners and this is a fictional story, so there's no reason to be upset about it. No kitties were harmed in the making of this story.
I like how these books have gone from being all about Chi to being about all the animals in the area. We have Chi, Cocchi, David, Auntie Calico, our KING Blackie, and all of the other neighborhood kitties. I'm enjoying meeting all of these new characters and I'm looking forward to learning about some of the characters we haven't seen nearly as much of, including Chi's family and Auntie Calico. I also wouldn't complain if we saw more of Mee because I love rabbits, especially Holland Lops. I think this book would really benefit if we got to meet some new human characters. I love the Yamadas, especially Kento, the dad, and Yohei, but it would be really great if we met some more of their friends and family. What if Yohei had a grandmother who was super obsessed with Chi and tried to knit her sweaters or put her in those cat costumes? What if Yohei's group of friends tried chasing her around whenever they were at the house? What if there was a friend who hated cats (as if you can hate cats) and Chi slowly changed their mind? That might be really interesting to see in the story.
I just will say that I feel like this book is supposed to be a relaxing, fun read, but I found it to be so stressful for absolutely no reason other than because I would get so stressed out whenever Chi would run off. Just like with my kitty, Chi doesn't want to leave her family, she just wants to have fun outside, hang out with her kitty friends, and enjoy herself. But whenever the Yamadas couldn't find her and had to go searching for her. Chi don't scare your family (and me) and come home before it gets too cold and dark outside. There were so many times when she got stuck in places and she theoretically could have gotten really hurt if she hadn't have been conveniently found. Chi you need to stop getting into trouble because you are stressing me out!
I've been loving this series so much, and even thought the next book is the last book, but at least there is another series as well as other cat comics from Konami. If I wasn't such a cat lover I might say that I'm set when it comes to cat comics, but in reality I don't think you could ever have enough cat comics. I've been having a lot of fun with all these cat comics and it's been great to have these books that are consistently good and I don't have to wonder whether I'll find it interesting or not.
