Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #Cat Boy(2)

Hatsujou Kemono Biyori

Complete | Ikuyasu | 2017 released

These two related stories were an adorable peek into the lives of some neighbourhood cats told from their view in a human/cat form. With no female cats the 2 sets of MCs fell in love with male partners, some strays, some with owners. The dynamics were sweet, the cat glaring (collection/group of cats) was made up of idiotic but lovely cats and the whole thing was fluffy (no pun intended).

Stalemate

Complete | AOYAMA Toomi | 2000 released

Stalemate: An uncle and his nephew have spent years developing a strong relationship over chess and good company. Now in his final year of high school there are new choices and stronger feelings to act upon. It’s a cute story, the nephew has loved his uncle for years and they have a good bond between each other. Holding Hands Together: A sweet reunion between distant relatives who have now grown up. Fond memories of first love and holding hands have to adjust to who they are now as adults. Getting Close To A Cat: My favourite story of the 3, this one had more humour with the scary cat obsessed school delinquent falling for the caretaker of a cat shrine who literally embodies the adorable fluff balls.
