Summary:
High schooler Kensuke Fuji adores cats, but others in his family are allergic, so he’s never really been able to spend time with any. When he meets a mysteriously skilled cat guru—who seems to be able to understand everything about cats—Kensuke finds a kindred spirit who is also “absolutely kitty bonkers,” so he decides to study under this Ultimate Cat Whisperer! In manga graphic novel format.

Booklist - 06/01/2025 *Starred Review* This hilarious cat comedy manga from the mangaka who created the hit Cat + Gamer mixes adorable cat antics with some shonen battle moves and adolescent growing pains to make for an endearing and engaging read. Although Kensuke is obsessed with cats, his family’s allergies prevent him from actually having one at home, leaving him with no other way to admire felines but by following around strays outside. When a cat who is especially important to him is in danger, he meets Nekoya Jin, a self-proclaimed cat whisperer who seems to know how to communicate with cats and has developed a cat-centric martial art. Kensuke sets out to learn all he can about connecting with and protecting cats! Ideal for the true cat connoisseur, this manga is defined by Nadatani’s impeccably drawn cat illustrations. The frenetic energy of the story is truly enhanced by just how much attention to detail Nadatani includes in his illustrations; his cat expressions especially make this stand out among other cat manga. This is sure to have really wide appeal: with its action elements based around protecting cats and a high cuteness factor, readers from as young as upper elementary school to adults will find enjoyment in this hilarious and heartfelt tale of kitty obsession. - Copyright 2025 Booklist.
