Read this one twice because it's super adorable!

Sue & Tai-chan is a story about Sue, a gentle senior cat who lives a calm life where she can laze around all day. One day, her owner brought back a kitten named Tai-chan, taking care of the little guy temporarily for a friend. Tai-chan is a very energetic and curious kitten, eager to plant his nose into anything he finds. This disrupts Sue's calm daily life because Tai-chan has unlimited energy and demands her to play with her every time.

This story is told in short chapters, each of it showing how Sue handles the curious Tai-chan. From calming him down when arriving to a new place, to teaching him how to do potty in his own little box, to playing around and being chased by the young one around the house, getting into trouble together.

I love that despite Sue getting tired easily due to her age, and wants more than nothing to nap all day, when Tai-chan is not in front of her, she worries about him a lot. It's basically a story of how the senior cat adopts in the energetic kitten.

Their dynamic is so lovely to read, and their conversations in "meows" are so funny as well. The creator made a wonderful job depicting how cats act, and the chaoticness is definitely . I'm looking forward to more adventures from these two adorable cats!

Many thanks to Netgalley and Kodansha for the digital review copy!
