I'm plagued with misery. I feel as if I am slumped in everlasting deep dejection. I do not know if I can recover from this disease called "sadness". I long for the translation of the next volume. I have been separated from my kittens and Riko for too long. The day the fifth translated volume of "Cat + Gamer" is released, is the day I shall enter the vast atmosphere of love and happiness once more. Until then, I shall continue to be plagued with sorrow and despair as walk amongst humans and I contemplate the need of human life without "Cat + Gamer".

Volume 4 threatened to explode my heart out of my chest with Soboro joining the family. Maximum cuteness.

When in doubt, add more cats. A conversation with the great sage sends Kozakura on a quest for a companion for herself and Musubi. Providence delivers Soboro, a part munchkin kitten, to the house and if one cat is a handful…
Literally all the pluses and minuses from last volume still pertain to this one. Kozakura legitimately sounds like she’s delusional and, while I appreciate commitment to the bit, it doesn’t actually work in the regular world. It needs the hyper-exaggerated Way of the Househusband stylings.
The cat stuff is still great, now with bonus extra cat. Soboro is adorable and a smart addition since her ridiculous kitten-y nature helps show how individualized feline personalities can be.
Masubi reacts to having a new furry friend pretty much exactly as you’d expect and it drives home how skittish he typically is as well. The variation in their ways of greeting Kozakura are pretty cute.
Lots of well observed behaviour abounds, now with the depth of another cat. Watching them adjust to one another and then become mischief makers of the highest order is certainly enjoyable.
One change that I’m not sure I agree with yet is having the cats “speaking” during regular chapters. Previously this was relegated to the omake as a fun little bonus moment where we got Musubi’s thoughts.
Now the two cats converse back and forth, which is a choice, and definitely gives them some personality beyond strict body language (although that remains a standout aspect; the fighting is bang on). I’d be lying if I said Soboro’s antics when it comes to whatever Musubi is eating weren’t very, very funny.
It’s good enough. Adding Soboro brings a nice little kick to what it was doing, and lets the mangaka explore some new angles. It helps a bunch when it’s otherwise the exact same as the last three volumes.
3.5 stars - this has worn well into its groove and I like, but do not love, it. Antics are still enough to bring me back, but it’s the sort of story I can see myself getting tired of well before the author does.

Such cute everyday life stories about an obsessed gamer girl and her cats. Soooooo cute and silly. Some of the easiest 5 stars i’ve given.

Literally the perfect representation of adding a second cat with an opposite personality

Je me suis prévue une après midi marathon lecture de La gameuse et son chat. Ça doit bien faire plus d’un an que les tomes traînent dans ma bibliothèque, alors il est plus que temps de se mettre à jour dans cette série. D’autant plus que j’aime énormément ce manga, comme je l’ai déjà dit, le fait que c’est une histoire qui parle de chat, vous m’avez perdue sur ce coup là. On pourrait croire que l’histoire finit par être redondante mais ce n’est pas le cas du tout. Chaque tome apporte son petit lot de surprises, de choses qui changent etc. C’est d’autant plus plaisant à découvrir je trouve. On ne sait jamais ce qu’il va se passer.
Dans ce quatrième tome, on retrouve Kozakura dans son quotidien avec Omusubi. Après une visite de la grande saga, comme elle l’appelle. Kozakura va adopter un nouveau chaton dans le but d’offrir un copain de jeu à Omu. On va donc découvrir l’adaptation entre les deux chats mais aussi voir le quotidien de Kozakura changer encore plus! Et le moins que l’on puisse dire c’est qu’avec deux chatons comme ces deux là, la vie est tout sauf ennuyante!
J’ai, encore une fois, adoré ce tome. J’ai beaucoup aimé le fait de voir Kozakura adopter un nouveau chaton. Impossible de ne pas tomber en amour devant la bouille de Soboro, cette petite femelle est beaucoup trop mignonne.. et pleine d’énergie surtout! Les débuts sont difficiles, Omusubi a un caractère très différent de Soboro. Mais au fil du temps, les deux finissent par plus ou moins bien s’entendre. Ça m’a fait beaucoup rire parce que moi même j’ai deux chats et la cohabitation est plutôt compliquée malgré le fait qu’ils vivent ensemble depuis 4 ans maintenant! Dans certaines situations, je les vois et c’est plutôt drôle pour le coup. Il me tarde tout de même de découvrir la suite de la cohabitation entre les deux, je sens que nous ne sommes pas au bout de nos peines. Kozakura risque d’en voir de sacrées encore!
Ce manga c’est clairement une bulle de bonheur. C’est si mignon, si adorable, si drôle, si frais et si léger qu’on ne peut que passer une bon moment pendant notre lecture. On ne s’ennuie pas, ça ne se répète pas bien au contraire. Ça me fait toujours rire de voir Kozakura aussi novice en terme de chat. Elle ne cesse de découvrir et d’apprendre des choses, elle est trop mignonne je trouve. Je vais me jeter sur la suite immédiatement, j’ai trop hâte de continuer à voir nos deux chatons apprendre à vivre l’un avec l’autre! Je sens que je vais encore une fois beaucoup rire.

3.5! I really enjoyed this one because there was more action (obviously with another cat added to the mix) and more chapters from Musubi's perspective. Curious how these two will "get along" in book 5.

Another fun volume
In this volume, a new cat enters the household. This while book is about how Riko winds up with a cat pal for Musubi. She brings home Soboru from the cat adoption fair. Soboru is a munchkin cat and is faster than Musubi in a run. I thoroughly enjoyed this forth volume in the series.

This is another cute installment of the Cat + Gamer manga, only this time there are two cats! I loved seeing the introduction of the second cat, and also getting to see a few more human side characters.
