Product Information

I found myself smiling or laughing more than I was wincing and cringing at the horror or scare tactics. That's a good sign to me.

Affectionate Parody: Of Ito's own work as a horror mangaka, since he still draws this series in his usual horror-oriented art style despite it being an autobiographical Slice of Life. Cuteness Proximity: With a healthy dose of Nightmare Face. J-kun immediately falls for Mu when seeing his reaction to getting kisses.It's bizarre but completely realistic. I've never been a cat owner. Unfortunately, I'm highly allergic. But based on the experiences of my friends, this is accurate to their cat-owner-history.

Ito, Junji (2015). "Translation Notes". Junji Ito's Cat Diary: Yon & Mu. Kodansha Comics USA. ISBN 978-1-63236-197-4. This is not a horror story. Or maybe it is – famed horror mangaka Junji Ito ( Uzumaki, Gyo) has never lived with cats before his fiancée A-ko tells him that her family cat Yon will be moving to their new home, which they already share with Junji (J-kun in the story)'s mother and a long-haired chihuahua named Sakura. If you've never lived with a cat, or even really interacted with one, which is basically Junji, that can be pretty scary – they have claws and sharp teeth, they're unpredictable, and they make weird noises. The stuff of horror indeed. Today, we’re looking at his cat diary that he wrote when he and his wife first got married. In the manga, he dubbed over their names and called them like J-san, A-ko, Yon, Muu, etc. It actually hardly matters because the focus on the story on how he’s trying to cope living with cats, since he’s a dog person. Happily Married: Despite the fact that J-kun wasn't keen to have a cat and A-to teases her fiancée about how he wants Yon's affections, they have healthy chemistry. It's shown they work as a team on house renovations. The most common obsessions are with beauty, long hair, and beautiful girls, especially in his Tomie and Flesh-Colored Horror comic collections. For example: A girl's hair rebels against being cut off and runs off with her head; Girls deliberately catch a disease that makes them beautiful but then murder each other; a woman treats her skin with lotion so she can take it off and look at her muscles, but the skin dissolves and she tries to steal her sister's skin, etc.
