crowinator 's review for:

Chi's Sweet Home, Volume 1 by Konami Kanata
3.0

All I wanted was something super cute. And this only sort-of delivered. The artwork is bright and stylish and the panels are easy to follow, and Chi the kitten behaves like a real one would (trust me, I grew up with cats, lots of cats). I was impressed with Konami's ability to convey kittenhood with such simple artwork.

However. Chi the kitten narrates in cutesy-wutsey baby tawk. Just wike dis. Oh, it is so adowable. Wight? Isn't dis adowable?

No, no it isn't. And that is why this has been upgraded (or downgraded?) from super cute to nauseatingly cute. Also, there is no plot, but I didn't pick this up for a plot -- I just wanted to look at Chi and go "awwwwww". Even that simple joy was taken from me.

If you pick this book up, just look at the pictures. Put your finger over any text bubbles you may see, even the ones from the humans. This should've been a wordless book, anyway, and you'll be happier. I will do this with successive volumes in this long series.
