A review by kavreb
Ito Junji's Cat Diary by Junji Ito

4.0

Rather a collection of vignettes than an actual story, the book doesn't really go "anywhere", sometimes even within a chapter, but that's hardly a problem when the point itself is to highlight some amusing tales from the author's experience with his cats, elevated by his horror-artist approach and sensibility, turning the humour surprisingly loopy. What's more, these are some of the cutest drawn cats I've seen, so even when one doesn't appreciate the horrory vibe to the comedy, one can appreciate the author's love of the feline form.

Due to its uniqueness, cuteness, and the fact I'm more of a cat person than a dog person (with a love for horror), this is a surefire inclusion amongst my favourites.
