A Man and His Cat, Vol. 1 - Machiko Sakurai, Taylor Engel

I need to sit down and write a couple reviews, and instead I'm risking being drowned in my review backlog again by reading this. OMG, it's adorable.

 

A lonely widower (who happens to be a hottie - I'm pretty sure at least one of his younger coworkers has a bit of a crush on him) buys a homely cat at a pet store. The cat, who he names Fukumaru, is well aware that no one wants him and is worried he'll be abandoned again, but he slowly starts to become comfortable in his new home.

 

It's a slice-of-life series, so there isn't much going on, but I'm looking forward to getting to learn more about Mr. Kanda, the widower, and seeing him and his cat become friends. Man, I wish this volume weren't so skinny.
