I've read volumes 1-7 but skipped 8 and 9 as I saw volume 10 in the library and had to read it. There is some crazy cute stuff in here where chi realise that chi is a cat and not a human and finds out what a momma is. Squee.

[Denise みか Hutchins · Rating 5 out of 5]

Just as sweet, cute, and unbearably entertaining as the previous volumes. As a cat-lover and kitty parent, I feel unable to express how much joy and hilarity these chapters brought me. You'd think after 9 volumes, Kanata-sensei would run out of cat-isms to explore, but she continues to illustrate more and more and almost as cutely as experiencing them with a cat in person. To go deeper into this volume, the story is becoming extremely compelling—more than simple life-with/as-a-kitten briefs—with underlying tension mounting after every chapter. I can't believe we have to wait until Fall 2014 for the next installment; it's going to be torturous!

Another great addition to the Chi’s Sweet Home series. I’m intrigued to see what will happen in the final 2 volumes and if Chi will be reunited with her original family. Always a delight to read.

Omg, Chi's playing with his siblings! She's finally realizing that she's not like Yohei, and mommy and daddy. I think she's finally realizing that she's a cat. I hope that she gets to reunite with her siblings and kitty mommy. I also hope that she can stay with daddy, mommy and yohei and visit her cat family every day! That would be the best outcome.

I think it's just too cute that she's playing with Cocchi and her siblings, and I think it's so cute that they all share similar traits. This has been the cutest manga series I have read thus far. Of course, every time I read it my own cat feels the need to sit in my lap and try to be the center of attention.

Typical! But I recommend this series to young readers and older who love cats!

Das ist Band 10 von der "Kleine Katze Chi" Reihe von Konami Kanata

Cocchie reist wieder aus, da er als reine Wohnungskatze einfach nicht gewohnt ist, er möchte keine Grenzen gesetzt bekommen und ist einfach enttäuscht vom Leben und den Menschen, da er selbst zurückgelassen wurde.

Langsam aber sicher kommt Chis erinnerung an seine Familie zurück. Ob seine neuen Freunde wirklich seine Geschwister sind? Es neigt sich dem Finale zu.

Me está dando mucha lástima finalizar éste manga, en parte por que es con el que comencé mi ‘andadura’ de lecturas manga Gatunas (que tantas alegrías me han dado), por que está mejorando mucho en su tramo final!
Aquí retomamos la historia de kochi ( el gato callejero) y su intento de avituallamiento al hogar de Chi; cosa complicada, claramente.
Además, se abre un nueva trama sumamente interesante y teñida de una ‘nostalgia vital’ que une el principio argumental del manga ( el origen), con el presente de la vida de nuestro protagonista.
¡Y por si fuera poco...la autora nos regala nuevamente la aparición de ‘Kuro Neko’ compartiendo aventuras y aleccionando a la pequeña Chi en nada menos que cinco historietas!!!. Ya por ése remate, se lleva mi máxima nota,xd!!

[Pamela · Rating 4 out of 5]

Another good progression to the overall story and super fast read.

I assumed Cocchi would stay with Yohei and his parents but I guess he’s really an outdoor cat!

It was nice to see Chi meet and play with her siblings but I do feel a little miffed about the parents keeping quiet about the lost kitten. Obviously it’s just a story but they haven’t exactly been doing a great job watching Chi since she’s always leaving and ending up needing to go to the vet… 😅 so even though they don’t want to disappoint their toddler, it’s really selfish and irresponsible to not contact her owner.

That’s my one gripe and why I wouldn’t give it a 4.5 or 5.

Un dixième tome dont j'ai été ravie de lire. Un dixième tome qui nous fait poser cette question : "Que va faire la famille de Chi de l'affiche trouvée dans la rue ?" Eh oui, la famille adoptive de Chi a trouvée dans la rue une affiche d'un chat perdu, ce chat perdu ressemble à Chi : il s'agit de Chi. En lisant ce tome, nous n'avons qu'une hâte : avoir des réponses.

Chi finds her siblings and there is a flyer advertising a missing kitten (that looks identical to Chi) 🐱, however, the Yamada’s don’t want to call 📞 the owner as Yohei 👦 will be devastated if Chi has to leave their family. Chi also realises that she is not actually a human but a 🐈‍⬛ cat.

[Krystal Caloia · Rating 4 out of 5]

Lol, Cocchi couldn't take the restrictions.

Chi met her siblings (even though she doesn't know they are siblings yet) and learned she is a CAT and not a human lol.

As for the flyer....they have had Chi for MONTHS.....why a flyer a now?....

[Shelley · Rating 4 out of 5]

This volume was adorable Cocchi stays with Chi a little longer and spends a day in the life of Chi. It’s prettty adorable. Cocchi gets to see the benefits of Chi’s life and home, but ultimately misses his freedom.

I guess once a country mouse, always a a country mouse…

[Erica · Rating 3 out of 5]

Just as cute as all the others but sad, as well, when Chi realizes she's not like the rest of the family with whom she's living.

[Child960801 · Rating 4 out of 5]

Chi begins to realize that she is different from the people she lives with and starts to have some angst about what that means. Also, she meets some kittens that look strangely familiar.

My heart 💔 Second book finished for borrowathon!

[Elisa Tarancón · Rating 3 out of 5]

Este tomo me ha gustado pero no ha sido tan tierno como otros anteriores. Eso sí, el final se acerca y cada vez estoy más segura de lo que va a pasar. ¡No quiero que Chi deje a los Yamada! ;__;

[Connie D]

Adorable kitty! This is a charming and unfinished coming-of-age/learning who-you-are and where-you-come-from story.

[Ady Weasley · Rating 4 out of 5]

Este me gustó un poco más sobre todo porque vemos un poco sobre la familia de Chi, y el hecho de que descubre que es diferente y es una gatita

[sinag · Rating 5 out of 5]

5/5 stars!

Chi and her siblings are so cute playing together! I can't wait to see her reaction when she finally reunites with her momma.

C'est vraiment déchirant cette petite aventure et le fait que Chi soit recherché... Mais pourquoi ça n'a pas été vu plus tôt ?

2024 Reading Challenge - Manga.

[Caribou Reviews · Rating 4 out of 5]

Chi's Sweet Home vol. 10 is a full coloured manga. Most manga are black and white inside but this one is detailed like any kid's book.

Chi's self-discovery and kitten adventure is funny, educational and bittersweet. The art is beautiful and cute. There is a plot though it has a lighthearted newspaper comic feel to it. The quality is consistent and the pacing is wonderful. the humour is rich and original.

This is a fun book with a cat's perspective on life and explores family dynamics, friendship and self identity.

What a lovely little book. I'd like to find more of the series. It's for anyone that enjoys a good plot and light reading, young or old.

[Kai Hunter · Rating 3 out of 5]

Chi is starting to learn that she is a cat. Daddy is faced with a tough choice. Two more volumes to go!

[Heidi Burkhart · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another wonderful installment in the "Chi's Sweet Home"series.

[Karissa · Rating 4 out of 5]

My whole family has enjoyed these cute and humorous mangas about a little lost kitten named Chi who finds a home with the Yamada family. This book was less funny than previous books but there were some interesting plot developments. The 11th volume in the Chi’s Sweet Home series is scheduled for an August 2014 release.

Chi has been spending more time outside and talking to Blackie and she is finally starting to figure out what a cat is. Chi struggles a bit with the fact that she isn’t like the Yamada family (human) but is a cat. She is also spending a lot of time playing with the kittens who are her siblings (although she doesn’t know they are her siblings yet). Chi also learns how to hunt with Blackie.

Meanwhile the Yamada family is struggling a bit since finding the lost kitten poster on the street that is obviously a picture of Chi. Chi is a part of their family and they don’t want to lose her, but they feel guilty for keeping her when someone else is looking for her.

We actually don’t spend a ton of time with the Yamada family in this book. We spend much more time with Chi and her cat friends. Some of the scenes where Blackie is teaching Chi to hunt are very funny. There are also a number of scenes with Chi and her siblings that are adorable. All that being said, this was probably the least funny book in the series so far. Things are getting a bit more serious here and I wonder if they will be resolved in book 11.

The illustration continues in the style of previous books...well done, lots of pastel colors, and very cute. My whole family continues to enjoy this series; my seven year old son is a huge fan. He was really disappointed that we had finally caught up to the most recent book and there weren’t any more Chi books to read.

Overall a solid installment in this series but not as humorous as previous books. There is some plot development in this book and hopefully we will get some resolution in the next book in the series. These books continue to be cute and there are still some funny parts. This whole series is highly recommended to cat lovers.
