'Manfried Saves the Day' by Caitlin Major with art by Kelly Bastow is the continuing adventures of a world where cats talk and have men for pets.
Steve Catson is finding some small fame with his art. He is also helping out at the local man shelter. When the shelter is in danger of being closed, he and all his friends find themselves in all kinds of crises. They decide to train some men to participate in a local man show to raise money to save the shelter.
It's still a clever concept, and I like it, but this story was not as good as the first volume. The art is pretty hilarious with all the men putting on silly Halloween costumes and still running around with no pants on.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Quirk Books and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.

This was such a fun and quirky graphic novel. Manfried and his friends are adorable and the cats that own them are loveable and I just really enjoyed this. It's so pure and just precious. The art style is appealing and the story flows fast. I found myself gripped and read this in one sitting. Despite how silly it seems - cats who own men as pets - it was just a delight and I need to go back and read the first book and I cannot wait for even more to come!

This is an adorable book! This is the second book about Manfried the Man and his cat owner, Steve. Steve writes comics for an online cat humor page called Cheezeburger and also helps out at the local shelter which is run by Henrietta Catface. The main crisis for this book is that the owner of the man shelter wants to sell the shelter to a greedy cat who wants to tear the shelter down! So the gang of friends decides that they will raise the money to buy the shelter out from under the business cat. They decide to enter a man show to try and win best in show for the prize money.
I really enjoyed this book just as much as the first one. I like the premise of the story about everyone trying to band together to save the shelter from the evil business cat. The story is great and flows very well and naturally. I liked getting to know the characters better in this book as well. As someone who has dealt with student loans it was nice to see that reflected in the Chelsea Meowmers character and the struggle that she was going through about money and trying to take care of herself and her men. I didn't really think I would find anything to relate to in this book but I really did! I loved watching the various characters deal with the men and trying to get them to all get along. I've definitely been there with my two cats. I would highly, highly recommend this book to anyone but especially if you are a fan of cats!

The charming art and ongoing men-as-cats joke holds up in this new story following Manfried. This time they must try to save the man shelter from a greedy developer. The plot is not terribly unique, but the novelty of the joke and the quality of the art makes it worth a read. This volume features a man show (think cat show, not a a shitty Comedy Central show) and costumes for men.

This is one of those comics that you love or hate, nothing in between. At first it was a little bit weird for me, but I got right on track with the story. The art is adorable, and the entire idea is genius, as a matter of fact I think I could have love it, if I would’ve read it a few years back. But as right now, i did found the humor a bit juvenile, so I’m sure this will work great with teenagers.
Thank you, Netgalley, for the free copy.

Este es uno de esos cómics que amas con locura o detestas. Para mí fue un poco extraño al principio, pero rápidamente me ajusté al ritmo de la historia y de los componentes de dicho universo. El arte es adorable, la idea entera es genial, de hecho, creo que si yo hubiera leído esto hace algunos años, probablemente se habría convertido en mi favorito de forma instantánea. No obstante, encontré el humor un poco más juvenil de lo que me hubiera gustado, así que estoy segura de que el libro va a funcionar Perfecto para adolescentes.
Gracias, Netgalley por la copia gratuita.
