A collection of comics about pet cats that are part cat and part Japanese mythical creature.

Most of the cats in this collection have been introduced before, but there were at least 2 new ones: itsumade (says “How long” in response to everything) and kanadama (finds loose change). Yokai Cats books are such a cozy, relaxing, feel good read. This week has been crazy busy and stressful with lots of event planning, and this was just what I needed to help unwind at the end of the day. And I know it isn’t just me that feels that way. This series is insanely popular with the students at my school. Now the long, eager wait for volume 10.

Overall, more cute stories. There are some more yokai cats that have not been featured much in recent volumes, though many get only one or two comics. For whatever reason, the author seems to like (or have an easy time writing) comics for the Azuki-arai (which in certain lore is less a specific creature and more a mysterious sound heard in the wilderness) and the Konaki Jijii, neither of which are my favorites.

The mermaid cat with the yakuza boss owner is my favorite, but copycat Yamabiko is a close second!

Sweet, silly, and cats.

So cute! I love the new Yokai cats and the return of the ones we already adore! These books are a great read through every single time.

There's a lot of adzuki bean washer cat tending to his special interest.
Old man cat is still a treasure.
