If want to just sit back and enjoy a really cute story of a man and his cat bonding, this is for you.

See, Kanda here has lost his wife not too long ago it seems. The story dances around the timeline but you can feel the loneliness of the older gentleman. But soon into the book we meet Fukumaru. Who's that? Well he's a fat cat who no one wants to buy and the poor cat is getting older and older and soon will probably be sent to a shelter. So Kanda buys him and they begin their life together.

It's a lot of small stories of how Fukumaru and Kanda rely on each other to grow and be happy once more. Fukumaru glad he has a dad, a home, and fun times ahead. Kanda is focused on regaining his happiness and with the help of Fukumaru he'll do just that. The bond between the two is both cute and well done.

It can get a little repetitive at points but overall this was too charming to care too much. A 4 out of 5.
