About this deal

It received generally positive reviews from critics, who enjoyed it as a cat-centered manga whose humor was derived from the emphasis on the behavior of the cat caretaker, rather than the cat. Junji Ito's Cat Diary appeared as an intermittent serial in Kodansha's seinen manga magazine Monthly Magazine Z from 26 November 2007 [10] to 26 December 2008. it's a pretty adorable, and very accurate account of the monsters that inhabit those little scraps of fur we spend all day feeding and catering to. Much of the humor comes from ominous set ups, actions that in his other comics would lead to gruesome murders or hauntings instead pay off with a joke. Skonstruowana z luźnych scenek, które przedstawiają codzienne życie z perspektywy kogoś, kto pierwszy raz ma stały kontakt z mruczkami i zaaatraaaca się w miłości do nich.

Horror comics author Junji Ito has recently purchased a new house and has decided to invite his girlfriend to move in with him. to eventually accepting their presence in his life to the extent that he is jealous of their relationship with his wife. A Textbook in Support of Feline Disaster Victims (2011), a book which was intended to raise support for cat shelters after the Great Tohoku Earthquake.

I found myself smiling or laughing more than I was wincing and cringing at the horror or scare tactics.

This makes a story about living with cute cats somehow applicable to a dramatic and grotesque style of art. This was a hilarious combination of Ito's normal horror art style mixed with the comedy of having two cats with VERY different personalities. Ito used two main artistic styles throughout the manga: a realistic one and a horror-tinged one of exaggeration. Son las 5 am, y tuve que contener la risa en varias ocasiones porque no sabría explicarle a mi novio que lo desperté a carcajadas porque vi una ilustración de Junji cayendo sobre el moco de su propio gato. This cat diary is drawn in his typical horror style and has similar pacing to a horror manga but it laugh out loud hilarious.Previously, Ito had drawn cats as frightening but had recently drawn a "very cute" cat in a way that appeared to capture the "essence" of cats, thus convincing the editor. Ito captures that strange part of human nature where we will see something so cute that we just want to… destroy it.

J-kun (Ito) and his fiancé A-ko (Ito’s later wife Ayako Ishiguro) have just moved in together, their new house is pristine and sparkling. But cat lovers should be warned there is a bittersweet sting here, as Ito’s story extends to Yon’s final days. Before Uzumaki, Ito was best known for Tomie, a comic series about a beautiful, teasing and eternally youthful high school girl who inspires her stricken admirers to murder each other in fits of jealous rage. For example: A girl's hair rebels against being cut off and runs off with her head; Girls deliberately catch a disease that makes them beautiful but then murder each other; a woman treats her skin with lotion so she can take it off and look at her muscles, but the skin dissolves and she tries to steal her sister's skin, etc.The English-language edition also included the pieces contributed by Ito and his wife for Teach Me, Michael! Visuals that could be alarming in other works are played for comedy (for example an extended mouth with over large teeth moving towards a cat and a panel saying “I’m going to gobble you up” then the next frame showing kissing/cuddling the cat). He is not the sort of manga creator I can recommend to most of my friends, as I genuinely think his work often goes a step beyond uncomfortable (though if you do like horror, check him out. Little did he know his blushing bride-to-be has some unexpected company in tow-Yon, a ghastly-looking family cat, and Mu, an adorable Norwegian forest cat. Anime News Network's Rebecca Silverman wrote that Ito's realistic art worked to make the cats endearing, while the moments of horrific art served as comedy.
