Junji Ito's Cat Diary: Yon & Mu Collector's Edition: 2

Product Information

Despite being a dog person, J-kun finds himself purrsuaded by their odd cuteness and thus begins his comedic struggle to gain the affection of his new feline friends. Nevertheless, upon graduation he trained as a dental technician, and until the early 1990s he juggled his dental career with his increasingly successful hobby — even after being selected as the winner of the prestigious Umezu prize for horror manga.

All of our books are 100% brand new, unread and purchased directly from the publishers in bulk allowing us to pass the huge savings on to you! In "Yon Attacks," J-kun dreads the arrival of Yon, whom he believes has cursed skull markings on his back. his blushing bride-to-be has some unexpected company in tow - Yon, a ghastly-looking family cat, and Mu an adorable Norwegian forest cat. Junji Ito makes gleeful use of his superior horror aesthetics to create a charming love letter to the cats his wife forced into his life. Born in Gifu Prefecture in 1963, he was inspired from a young age by his older sister's drawing and Kazuo Umezu's comics and thus took an interest in drawing horror comics himself.Additionally, she pointed out that A-ko's trademark striped pants are nowhere to be found in her personal wardrobe. But cat lovers should be warned there is a bittersweet sting here, as Ito’s story extends to Yon’s final days. It's the true enough story of what happened when his fiance moved into his house and brought two cats with her.

I like both Ito and cats, so I find this pretty delightful, particularly in how it's still drawn like horror manga in typical Ito style, even though the content is all actually pretty normal. The manga is drawn in Junji Ito's horror comic style featuring intricate and finely drawn images, which when combined with the humorous story, results in a experience that is sure to bring laughter to the reader. this is a comedic-horror manga, and it speaks to those of us who have invited these little devils into our hearts and homes, and the everyday horrors we endure as a result.His longest work, the three-volume Uzumaki, is about a town's obsession with spirals: people become variously fascinated with, terrified of, and consumed by the countless occurrences of the spiral in nature. It is not included in promotions available to our main range products, as stated in our terms of service.

J, a dog person, was convinced into adopting two cats by his fiancee A-ko: Muu, a foreign cat, and Yun who has an accused face. On June 1st, my cat passed away quite suddenly so the last few pages had me unexpectedly bawling my eyes out for a good while.This story is about cat loving, it's about becoming a cat person - a true one, believe me, and about how these little furry assholes change everything when they arrive in our lives.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Kodansha Comics USA published an English-language translation of Junji Ito's Cat Diary in October 2015, which also included the contributions of Ito and his wife to the 2011 collection Teach Me, Michael! 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.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).
