MAN AND HIS CAT VOL 01

Sometimes you want harrowing memoir. Sometimes you want gripping thrills. Sometimes you want experimentation. And sometimes you want a heartwarming story about an older man and his homely cat. A sensation in Japan, this lovely book is one for the pet owners out there. It€s about how we can find what we'€re looking for in our animal companions, and what they might even find in you. Umi Sakurai's art has a dreamy quality which makes titular cat Fukumaru'€s cuteness nigh-on unbearable. But in the end it works, because it'€s just so damn lovely that you'd have to have a heart of stone to be cynical in the face of it.
