Firstly, big thanks to vega-table for the heads up that this even exists! I was having trouble finding a book that would work for this BINGO square, and this was just so perfect, because it’s short and easy to read, and it’s about cats. My library system actually has quite a bit of manga in it’s catalog, and that’s how I read most of the manga I have read. Luckily they had this one, too, and it was free! God bless libraries and librarians. Protect them forever.
It’s hard to write a review for this one because there isn’t much to it beyond the premise, which it absolutely delivers on. The main character is Riko, an office worker of some indeterminate office worker job, not important. She is extremely thorough and not very friendly at work because all she wants to do is get her work done as quickly as possible, and then go home to game. Gaming is her #1 thing and she is intense about it. But one day someone brings in a tuxedo kitten, and she ends up taking him home, naming him Misubi. The rest of the series is her learning how to be a cat mom via the mechanisms of gaming. She’s honestly kind of a weirdo, but I enjoyed these first three books. Mostly because I love cats, and it’s very clear the mangaka also loves cats, and has a tuxedo cat of their own (tuxedo cats are unhinged).
I would maybe put down the series after these first three volumes except I think she gets another kitten in the next one, so I will be checking it out and we’ll see from there.
