Chris,

There’s a new Junji Ito cat manga tanko out. No horror, just cats. You should pick it up while you’re here.

!!! A new manga about cats! I collect “pet manga”, I have a whole shelf of raw Japanese manga based around pet ownership stories. Mostly cat-related ones, but I have a few about hamsters and rabbits, too. Pet manga are great!
