Written with biting wit and sardonic perspective, it follows the whimsical adventures of a rather cynical stray kitten. He finds his way into the home of an English teacher, where his running commentary on the follies and foibles of the people around him has been making readers laugh for more than a century.This is the very first manga edition in English of this classic piece of Japanese literature. The story lends itself well to a graphic novel format, allowing readers to pick up on the more subtle cues of the expressive cat, while also being immersed in the world of his perceptive narration. It is true to classic manga form, and is read back to front.The cast of characters includes:Kushami--His master, who is not good at his job and quite stupidThe Kenedas--A conceited couple with a spoiled daughterMeitei--Kushami's friend who is fond of jokes and tall talesA group of local cats including lovely Mikeko, and violent KuroBeautifully illustrated by Japanese artist Chiroru Kobato, this edition provides a visual, entertaining look at a unique period in Japan's history--filled with cultural and societal changes, rapid modernization and a feeling of limitless possibility--through the eyes of an unlikely narrator."-- provided by publisher. 650 4 $a Graphic novel. 650 0 $a Cats $z Japan $v Fiction. 650 0 $a English teachers $z Tokyo $z Tokyo $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Graphic novel adaptations. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Graphic novels. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Humorous comics. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Historical comics. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Kobato, Chiroru $c (Mangaka), $e illustrator. $e illustrator. 700 1 $a Davisson, Zack, $e translator. 941 $a 2 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010030415.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20211005010551.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=997D0BA625A111EC99F17AB23DECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
