The Walking Cat: A Cat's-Eye View of the Zombie Apocalypse by Tomo Kitaoka

4.5

adventurous dark emotional funny hopeful sad medium-paced

Plot or Character Driven: A mix

Strong character development: Yes

Loveable characters: Yes

Diverse cast of characters: Complicated

Flaws of characters a main focus: No

---

The cat, a completely regular in all ways cat, is actually THE main character. Big tonal shifts between arcs, rarely feels sad or dark just for the sake of it. Much less pessimistic than some zombie fiction.
