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

Product Information

In "Yon is a Weird Cat," J-kun, while finishing his manga on a tight deadline one night, imagines that Yon transforms into various beings, including a slug, the supernatural snake-like creature tsuchinoko, and an elderly man. 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. Maybe that was exacerbated by how much of the volume was taken up by interviews, but it still felt too small to be a complete story. Eventually, unable to cope with her coy flirtation and their desire to possess Tomie completely, they are inevitably compelled to kill her — only to discover that, regardless of the method they chose to dispose of her body, her body will always regenerate.

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. Upon publication, the manga received a favorable critical and commercial response, debuting in The New York Times 's weekly list of the ten best-selling manga volumes. Apart from the ghastly, convincingly-drawn deaths, the book projects an effective atmosphere of creeping fear as the town's inhabitants become less and less human, and more and more bizarre things begin to happen. Here he deploys his trademark style, with intricate, black-and-white artwork, to compose an account of everyday life with two cats. She names the kitten Mu, since he will be the sixth cat her family has kept, with her mother's cat, Goro, being the fifth.This manga is a diary of the author's life as he tries and often fails to connect with his two feline friends, and is drawn in Junji Ito's horror comic style featuring intricate and finely drawn images.

King Yon" chronicles Yon's further unsuccessful attempt to escape, his unusual strength, and his position as dominant cat within the household. Skonstruowana z luźnych scenek, które przedstawiają codzienne życie z perspektywy kogoś, kto pierwszy raz ma stały kontakt z mruczkami i zaaatraaaca się w miłości do nich.his blushing bride-to-be has some unexpected company in tow - Yon, a ghastly-looking family cat, and Mu an adorable Norwegian forest cat. In "The Events of One Late Night," J-kun tries to bribe the cats to sleep on his bed, rather than A-ko's, to no avail. The most common obsessions are with beauty, long hair, and beautiful girls, especially in his Tomie and Flesh-Colored Horror comic collections. I found myself smiling or laughing more than I was wincing and cringing at the horror or scare tactics.

It received generally positive reviews from critics, who enjoyed it as a cat-centered manga whose humor was derived from the emphasis on the behavior of the cat caretaker, rather than the cat.

Ito rysuje jak Ito, więc miałam wrażenie, że zaraz stanie się coś złego/niepokojącego, ale to zabawna, urocza historia o kotach i ludziach.
