chi gets lost in this one, he also eats some cheese, tries to catch a goldfish and watches tv. bit of a cliffhanger at the end as chi is sick! as blackie (his cat friend) says, always smell your food before eating it!
hope chi is ok.

Todo un descubrimiento. Simpática y entrañable, aunque supongo que solo para amantes de los gatitos como yo.

Chi’s Sweet Home is always such a wholesome and quick read from the perspective of a stray-turned-housecat! I remember reading it years ago when we found our own street-cat-turned-fur-baby. One of my all-time favs. Hoping I can complete the series this year finally.

Gawd, I love this grumpy kitty!


Chi and Cocchi are two rambunctious peas in a pod. The crazy duo get into all sorts of trouble in Chi's Sweet Home, Volume 7. I love how the ever-pushy Chi brings out the softer side of the street-hardened Cocchi. These wild brats are a riot to watch. Thank goodness big brother Blackie is always looking out for Chi.

This volume has so many hilarious scenes. Chi invading Cocchi's space with a big smile and "Chi's coming in" to only get smacked by Cocchi had me giggling. I also really enjoyed the bath scene and watching Chi attempt to be stealthy attacking the fish.

Poor Chi and her sore tummy! It was heartwarming to see Blackie and Cocchi check up on their friend. I hope Chi feels better in the next volume. I'm looking forward to seeing Chi and Cocchi raise more hell.


My favorite moments:
Locked out:
I love how pissed off she looks.


Bath time:


Sneaky:
Her mischievous smirk is hilarious!

It's getting a little difficult to review these books as I just keep saying the same thing. Cute, funny, great insight into the feline mind and also a look into day-to-day Japanese family life. Everybody, no matter what age, will love Chi! For all cat lovers. Chi spends time outdoors with his new friend Cocchi, gets locked out of the house over night, discovers the fun of a new pet fish, watches TV and gets sick. The absolute best part of this book is when Chi throws up; the Yamada's absolutely freak out, Chi does it more than once and the parents' reaction is hilarious. The illustration during this part just emphasizes how good Kanata is at showing emotion in her work. Loved it!

Chi is as adorable as ever in Volume 7, and now she has a kitten accomplice adding to the adorableness. He is Cocchi, a stray kitten whom Chi takes to playing with and following around. In this installment, we also see Blackie and Chi gets a new housemate (a Goldfish). Chi also experiences her first time being sick. So while still adorable, not quite as adorable as previous installments - but still realistic and enjoyable in depicting Chi's feline life.

As always I love this little manga. Almost makes me want to get a kitty.

Summary:
In this volume of Chi’s Sweet Home, Chi has officially become friends with another kitten named Chocci. Cocchi and Chi enjoy running all over the place and chasing each other. And Chi continues to explore her environment inside as well. Will all this curiosity, kill the cat? But could Chi’s love to explore without reservations get her into trouble?

I Loved the scene with the big screen tv, as I can relate with my kitty. My kitty, Sophie used to never pay attention to our current tv and then we got a big screen 4D high definition tv and then all of a sudden the cat was interested in what we were watching. She would even walk right in front of the tv like Chi did and try to get the marbles on the screen. It was so cute!

Sadly I could totally relate to the scene where Chi eats something bad and get dangerously sick. We had the exact same problem with my kitty when we first got her, except she ate a plant at home that we didn’t know was toxic! She ended up getting so sick she would stay in one spot and never move, she couldn’t keep her food down and would throw up and I think she had a really warm nose. Poor kitty! Even though she probably could have gotten it out of her system on her own, it was scary because she kept throwing up and wasn’t acting like herself!

We ended up taking her to the vet pretty soon after that and they did an exploratory surgery and cleaned her out and gave her medicine and she was acting like her old self the next day or two! So I know how Chi and the Yamadas felt because I could relate.

The best part in whole book was when the other kitties were caught checking on her to make sure she was ok. That was soooo cute!

Finally a perfect series for anime and cat lovers. Cat lovers everywhere will relate. Chi is just so cute and I just can’t get enough of her!

4.25/5

Little Chi is at it again, getting up to mischief. This time, she tries to go after new "prey" in her daddy's new pet Goldfish, which was very funny. Poor Chi couldn't understand why she wasn't allowed to grab for the fish!

The best part of the volume was her spending time with the other kitten, Cocchi, who tried to warn her against eating a rotten piece of meat. Thanks to assistance from big bear-cat, Blackie, she is able to get home, but then she's sick all over the floor which prompts her human family to take her to the vet. It ends with her on the mend from the rotten meat.

This volume had more unique stories, which I appreciated. The repetitive nature of her going for walks and getting lost wasn't so interesting, so glad to see there were other details like the goldfish and her learning to make sure to smell food before eating it.

Chi continues to grow and be brave. This volume picks up where the last one left off of. So she's following Cocchi through the park. Its clear that Cocchi is a street cat and doesn't have home (so sad). But Chi follows Cocchi around anyway and despite Cocchi's tough exterior I think Cocchi likes Chi.

Chi spends her first night outside and she wasn't very happy! She wanted to be home with Yohey and mommy and daddy!

Chi also learned a hard lesson too. You must sniff your food before you eat it because it could be rotten! Chi got sick but Daddy ran her to the vet and now Chi is better.

I can't wait to read this next volume. This is such a sweet manga series for anyone who loves cats. Young and old.

Das ist Band 07 von der "Kleine Katze Chi" Reihe von Konami Kanata

Chi hat einen neuen Katzenfreund gefunden, den ich ehrlich gesagt mehr als süß finde. Erst ist er ja nicht so begeistert das ihm Chi auf die Pelle rückt, aber ich glaube die Liebe ist beidseitig. Er kann von ihm lernen auf der Straße klar zu kommen und er ist fast genauso alt wie er selbst.

Leider lernt er in diesem Band auch die Gefahren im Haushalt sowie im Park kennen und das man besser nicht einfach alles isst was man so auf der Straße findet, da man sonst davon krank wird.

Ces derniers temps, je n'ai pas le temps de lire énormément avec la prépa de mon concours. L'autre jour, j'ai voulu m'accorder une petite pause d'une heure, pendant ce temps-là, j'ai lu le tome 7 de "Chi". Comme à chaque fois que j'ouvre un tome de cette série de manga ; j'ai bien entendu A-DO-RER ! J'ai été très heureuse de retrouver Chi et sa petite famille. On a découvert dans ce septième tome ce que ça faisait d'avoir un chat et un poisson rouge, un chat qui vomit, un chat qui tombe malade... Ceux qui ont un ou plusieurs chats, ont déjà vécu ce genre de situations, et c'est assez drôle de revoir des événements que moi-même j'ai vécu avec mon chat retranscrit sur les planches d'un manga. Je ne vais pas tout vous dire, bien sûr, mais c'est une série de manga que je vous conseille beaucoup, surtout pour les fans d'animaux ou pour ceux qui ont un chat. Ce n'est pas une série de manga folle en aventure et en action, c'est plutôt quelque chose de calme et reposant sans prise de tête. Enfin bref, à lire absolument !

the way the chi and the other kitties are drawn in their motions and reactions is just exactly how i animate the caricature of "cat" in my mind. pure joy. silly little adventures. i love chi.

Mangá muito fofo para qualquer gateiro!
Peguei esse volume em promoção, então só li esse. Mas deu pra acompanhar bem a história.
Só me surpreendi com os capítulos finais, a Chi ficando doente hahaha sou fraca pra ver bichinhos doentes assim 😅

El gatito nuevo, Kocchi, es muy majo. Pero el pobrecito es callejero. Espero que encuentre otra familia, cerca de Chi, ¡o incluso en su misma casa!

Como siempre, Chi, nunca defrauda. Si tienes poco tiempo y quieres distraerte un poco es una lectura rápida y entretenida.
