Synopsis

There is one cat at the local pet shop that has been waiting a long time for someone to bring him home. He has reached adulthood alone in his cage, avoided by potential owners for petty reasons like not being cute enough or being snotty. His fortune changes one day when an elderly gentleman named Fuyuki Kanda comes into the store and chooses to take him home. As a widower left behind by his grown-up children, Kanda seeks a feline companion to alleviate his solitude.

At times humorous and others heartwarming, Ojisama to Neko follows Kanda and the newly named Fukumaru as they experience the joys of living together and learning about each other.

Preliminary (38/? eps)
One thing you have to know about this manga is that it is just pure. The story of how an elderly man and a cat find the joys of life together just warms your heart. Both of them go through various struggles- Fukumaru coming in terms that he is loved and the gentleman dealing with the passing of his wife. And this is revealed gradually though the chapters. So once we have a very light hearted one and other times the themes are heavier but it always ends in the man and the cat helping each other. So the result is a adorable slice of ...

I have never owned a cat before but this manga made me feel like i had. This series will pull all of your heart strings. I fell in love with this captivating story from day 1. The character development throughout this story is amazing I instantly fell in love with both the main characters. I have recommended this series to all of my friends and they all think im gay. I really hope im not the only person who loves this manga.

The manga starts with a fairly good art style but you could see that it could use some minor improvements. The latest chapter ...

So I have decided to read this because it’s been recommended a lot and I understand that Akidearest was talking about it in a “Monthly Otaku” video a long time ago. It’s very wholesome ngl like I love cats myself even if they are menacing creatures and the old man in this has got style literally. I wouldn’t call it my personal best because all it’s about is a cat and a widower bonding that’s basically it..

I was even surprised as well that this got a Jdrama adaption recently and the cat in that looks wtf bro XD

Overall I would definitely recommend everyone ...
