Japan’s latest kitty sensation is finally making herself at home in North America! Presented in full color and left-to-right format, Chi and her collection of furry and feathered friends are winning the hearts of readers of all ages.

The little kitty is then quickly and quietly whisked away into the warm and inviting Yamada apartment … where pets are strictly not permitted. In her nearly thirty-year career, Konami Kanata has penned more than a dozen comic series, with the majority of them focusing on cats and pets. Konami is well-regarded within the pet-manga community for her keen sense of cat psychology. Her ability to observe and render feline behavior has earned her respect from the Japanese manga community as a whole. Chi is more than just cute kitty antics; it’s a thoughtful reflection on the joys and difficulties of pet ownership, one that invites readers of all ages to see the world through their cat or dog’s eyes and imagine how an animal adapts to life among humans… You don’t need to be a manga lover to find Chi’s Sweet Home accessible; the simple artwork and flipped layout make this a great place for newbies to begin their exploration of the medium. —The Manga Critic“Just about any decent artist can draw an adorable cat.
