"Getting pats from this big, scary man ain't so bad after all."
A very satisfying and sweet ending to this fun series!
I'm glad I waited for the "right time" to read this because I had a blast and absolutely LOVED how Sabu started showing affection for Jin rather than just fear! The ending especially made me happy and I felt it ended on such a perfect note!
I really enjoyed reading this series and will definitely miss Jin and his "scary" faces and all the playful moments he and Sabu had together! This will be a manga I keep in my collection and come back to again, I am sure of that!

This was a great ending to a fun series. I am sad it is over, but it also feels like the story is complete.
I really enjoyed the characters and how they grew over the course of the series.
I liked the artwork and style, especially the contrast between Jin and Scary Jin. The ending was somewhat expected and also a little surprising, though I am definitely happy with it.
Absolutely would recommend this series to others.

This was the cutest dang series ever. It had a perfect ending. I loved all the animals.

I never expected a silly little slice-of-life book series to have the most wholesome and heartwarming ending that nearly made me tear up, but here we go.
What a beautiful ending to a beautiful series about kittenhood. What a beautiful story of love and finding who you need instead of what you want. 10/10 read!!!

I'm so sad that this is the last in this series. It was so good!

I was sad to see this was the last volume of this series! The ending didn't quite feel wrapped up to me, so I would've liked to see more.

teared up at the ending. GROW UP WELL SABU

The final volume, noooo! I enjoyed this series so much, I loved seeing Sabu grow and bond with Jin and all the other rescued animals at Cafe Fluffy. This particular volume had me really emotional, especially with Sabu's short lived rehoming. I called it with Jin's scar being from a cat, haha. I'm glad everyone got such a nice ending together, Mama Jin and his furbabies forever!!
I cannot recommend this series enough for a boost of serotonin and a simple, sweet read!

J’ai enfin pris le temps de découvrir le dernier tome de Chat de Yakuza et franchement, quel bonheur de retrouver Sabu une dernière fois. Cette série avait déjà réussi à me conquérir dès les premiers volumes avec son mélange de douceur, d’humour et de moments profondément touchants, mais ce quatrième et dernier tome apporte quelque chose d’encore plus fort : une vraie émotion de fin, tout en gardant cette ambiance réconfortante qui fait tout le charme du manga. En tant qu’amoureuse des chats, je savais déjà que cette histoire allait me plaire, mais je ne pensais pas autant m’attacher à cet univers et à tous ses personnages au fil des tomes.
Dans ce dernier volume, on retrouve Sabu parfaitement intégré au café Fluffy, entouré de chiens, de chats et de clients habitués qui viennent chercher un peu de tendresse auprès des animaux. J’ai adoré voir à quel point il a évolué depuis le début de la série. Au départ, Sabu était ce petit chaton perdu, fragile et méfiant, et maintenant on sent qu’il a trouvé sa place, son foyer et surtout des personnes qui l’aiment sincèrement. Toute la force du manga est là : derrière son apparence très légère et mignonne, il parle énormément du besoin d’appartenance, du lien affectif et de la façon dont les animaux peuvent réparer certaines blessures. Le café Fluffy devient presque un refuge autant pour les humains que pour les animaux, et c’est ce qui rend la lecture aussi chaleureuse.
L’arrivée du vieux monsieur dans ce tome apporte un vrai tournant à l’histoire. Sans entrer dans les détails pour ne rien spoiler, cette rencontre pousse Sabu et ceux qui l’entourent à se confronter au changement et à ce que signifie réellement aimer quelqu’un : parfois aimer, c’est aussi accepter de laisser partir ou de voir les choses évoluer. J’ai trouvé cette partie très touchante parce qu’elle reste simple, sans jamais tomber dans le drame forcé. Le manga garde toujours cette douceur naturelle qui le caractérise depuis le début. On ressent énormément d’affection dans chaque interaction, autant entre les humains qu’entre les animaux. Les expressions des chats et des chiens sont adorables, mais elles transmettent aussi beaucoup d’émotions. Riddle Kamimura réussit vraiment à rendre ses personnages attachants avec des gestes très simples du quotidien. J’ai aussi beaucoup aimé l’évolution de Jin dans ce dernier tome. Derrière son image d’ex-yakuza un peu intimidant, on découvre depuis le début quelqu’un d’extrêmement tendre et attentionné, et ce volume montre encore plus à quel point les animaux ont changé sa vie. La relation entre Jin et Sabu reste le cœur du manga selon moi. Elle est remplie de douceur, de confiance et d’un attachement sincère qui fait chaud au cœur. C’est ce genre de relation qui rend l’histoire aussi réconfortante à lire.
Pour conclure, ce tome est une très belle fin pour Chat de Yakuza. C’est une série douce, drôle et profondément réconfortante, qui fait du bien du début à la fin. Au-delà des chats adorables et de l’ambiance cosy, le manga parle surtout de famille de cœur, de reconstruction et des liens qui se créent parfois là où on ne les attend pas. J’ai refermé ce dernier tome avec beaucoup de tendresse et un petit pincement au cœur de quitter Sabu et toute cette bande. Une chose est sûre : cette série restera un énorme coup de cœur pour moi.

I feel like I have a "doneness" radar, since this is the... third? in so many series where I've thought, wow, there's not much more ground they can cover, huh? And the series promptly ENDS.
(No, I don't check beforehand.)
Not to say that's good or bad, but considering that the main point of conflict was Sabu being scared to death of his rescuer, Jin, it doesn't feel possible to keep milking that after four volumes of it. Like, anyone—kitten or person or other—who isn't able to adjust after THAT much time really needs some treatment for anxiety.
The main reason I take a star off is it maybe could have ended in three volumes. A lot of the stories are more "cute cats are cute" and "'scary' guy is actually nice but expressively awkward" filler, and while it could have dragged out farther, it doesn't add enough to the plot to carry it another volume... kind of why I stopped reading Yokai Cats and The Evil Secret Society of Cats after one volume each. (Not that "cute cats are cute" isn't enough reason to make a book, but I have at this point read SO MANY of those that my brain craves some different content... like, at LEAST Cat Zombies or something.)
Yes, though, this volume reads as a wrap-up, and it does it well, but it DOES have to squeeze in some filler to get to a proper page count. (I do have to wonder how often Sabu's problem comes up in real life, though, to be adopted out only to not be able to adjust to the different environment.)
Cute end to a cute series, and absolutely recommended for fans!

Sabu is finally starting to settle in and feel at home at Cafe Fluffy when an older couple finds the cafe and bursts into tears at the sight of Sabu. He reminds them so much of their old cat. The couple takes Sabu home on a trial run for adoption, but are they a good fit for each other?
The back of this book says it is the final volume in the series. Sad. I liked spending time with Sabu. But it does seem fitting since he's growing up, finds his forever home, and won't be a kitten much longer. Still, I'll miss more doses of Sabu. This volume also explains where Jin got his horrible facial scars and it isn't the yakuza incident everyone assumes. Hand this to animal rescue/adoption story fans who like a touch of humor.
Notes on content:
Language: About 8 minor swears.
Sexual content: None
Violence: The incident that scarred Jin was a little bloody but not violent per se . The older couple are still mourning the loss of their former cat who died of old age.
Ethnic diversity: Japanese humans
LGBTQ+ content: None specified
Other: Cuteness overload!

Et voilà je dis au revoir a Sabu et Jin
Quel incroyable relation entre eux.
Je ne pense pas qu'il faut nécessairement une ligne narratrice profonde pour en faire un manga un excellent manga.
Ici c'est un excellent manga. Qui nous déconnecte le temps de la lecture de notre quotidien
On suit Sabu petit chaton recueilli par Jin. Un homme qui ressemble au Yakuza. Qui peut parfois faire peur a Sabu. Mais qui montre une sensibilité face aux animaux. Dans ce tome une famille prend en essaie Sabu pour une possible adoption. Ce que je trouve beau. C'est ce que raconte ces derniers chapitres. Tout les chats ne sont pas fait pour une adoption. Sabu a déjà sa famille dans le café fluffy.

Final molt digne i rodó per a aquesta sèrie :3 Amb una premissa molt semblant a Gokushufudo: Yakuza amo de casa, volumen 1, un jove yakuza rescata animals abandonats per cuidar-los en el seu cafè/refugi. En aquest cas, seguim la història del Sabu, un gatet de només un mes i mig força recelós del seu nou amo. Lectura entretinguda i tendra ♥

The last issue! No! I love this story! I just returned from Japan two weeks ago. While there, I purchased a Neko-jasuri comb and paw cream for my cat. He loves the comb!!! I would not have known about Neko-jasuri if not for this manga. I thought there was just about as much education as entertainment from the ex-yakuza and his cafe. I do want to know more about their adventures. I will be following this author!

So the conclusion to this mind numbingly boring manga series is that the characters are back to square one…living in a cat cafe where they have been found to be unwilling to be adopted by a family in lieu of this life of an over run animal cafe with one lone guy working himself to the neglect of his own health or seemingly any outside life/development of his own. Umm…was this supposed to be endearing? Personally I do not like this series at all.

In this final volume of the series, Sabu is pampered while watching birds, has to take a bath, and tries out a possible adoption home.
I'm bummed that this was the last book. I could have easily enjoyed a few more volumes because I enjoyed the way the mangaka explored pet experiences in groups living in a pet café. Overall, this was an adorable cozy-filled hug of a series.

Une saga courte en quatre tome absolument trop mignonne et très touchante. J'ai adoré ce dernier tome, dans lequel j'ai même laissé couler quelques larmes ! L'histoire de Sabu est vraiment extrêmement touchante et très drôle également. Je suis contente de cette fin et de cette saga dans la globalité. C'est certes simple mais c'est un parfait moment de détente. en somme, une bonne saga doudou.

More of a 4.5 star rating;
The only reasons I didn’t give this series a 5 star rating is because I wish to see little Sabu go into adulthood, and I wish for more background on Jin.
Overall, this was a very sweet and wholesome series to read.

ugh. still such a great series. the adoption trial really tugged at my heartstrings because I know how much that older couple must've wanted it to work out! but so good that they chose what was best for a young Sabu. <3

This was a great conclusion to a fun and charming cat manga! I'm sad to see this story end and would love to have seen more volumes. I just love it so much, and look forward to re-reading it one day.

Another one with a curtness overload!!!
The way Koyuki's behavior changes is just like my Calypso's. Sweet and cute one second and vengeful and aggressive the next.
Again, pretty cute, nice artwork, lovely short stories.
Ideal for a quick, cozy, cute and easy read.

I love that this has been a short and sweet series. Sabu is so cute. I knew someone was going to try and adopt him. And I am so glad that he (and the potential new humans) knew that he was better off with his family at the cat café. I so cried. Hoping they all get to stay together.

Une belle fin pour un bon manga. Sabu va beaucoup me manquer !

Encore une fois je suis conquise ! C’est un excellent manga plein de douceur et rempli d’amour et de rire

Such a great way to end the series (didn’t even realizes it was over until I got to the end).
I’m not sad about it, it was a great cute little run.
