Why Must Read A Man and His Cat 01?
I followed scanlations of this online before it was officially translated to English, and IMMEDIATELY placed a preorder for this English version once it became available. It's one of the sweetest, cutest manga I've read, and will especially resonate if you've ever owned a cat. Very lowkey, slice-of-life humor. The English translation did bug me a little, because the cat (Fukumaru) has an idiosyncratic way of narrating where some words are replaced with cat puns (so in English, "for sure" = "fur sure," "perfect" = "purrfect," etc.) and for some reason one of the ways they chose to translate that was to replace the word "my" with "meowy," which doesn't make sense to me at all. That was the only thing I didn't like, though, and it's not a big deal. Definitely pick this up if you're looking for something quick and adorable!
