A story made for cat lovers, be it those with cats or without. It truly is a story about friendship as we see not only the loyalty between cat and owner––or "master" in the cat's terms––but also the friends our human MC, Satoru, has made in his life, particularly his adolescence. A nice cast of characters with their individual relationships to Satoru. Kudos to the author(s), both original and translator, for providing readers a cat so witty and brilliant like Nana. A cosy read and you feel like you're in the backseat of Satoru's van, alongside Nana.
An amazing book, and I don't care if I'm biased. Any book where the story told is either narrated by a cat, or where a chapter focuses on a cat, count me a fan. I love cats and I always will.
