It's cats being cats. What more could you want?

Je pense qu'il faut effectivement aimer les animaux pour aimer cette série, mais pour moi qui les adore, cette saga est vraiment un petit bonbon ! Les dessins sont magnifiques, c'est ultra choupi et drôle, et y a quand même de petites évolutions au fil des histoires, donc ce n'est pas non plus sans lien d'une histoire à l'autre ! Ça ne révolutionne rien, mais ce n'est pas ce qu'on lui demande ^^

This is still just the cutest series ever. I didn't even know manga could be like this really (even though it makes sense that it could be).

En ésta entrega se da mayor importancia a la inter actuación entre Plum, Flake y Princesa y menos protagonismo a los personajes humanos.
Me encanta lo mal que se lo hace pasar Flake a la buena de Plum; es una tremenda traviesa y cara dura;)

My Review: I fell in love with little Plum in the previous volume so of course had to continue with this series. I like how this volume is a collection of random stories in the world of Plum and Snowball. In the previous book I found the mother to be really annoying and immature but she was a little less so in this one. The illustrations are adorable and I can't get enough of sweet Plum and rambunctious Snowball. The format of this one being short stories made it easier to read as you can pick it up and read a story when you have time. Some are shorter and some are longer but they don't seem to be on any particular timeline so no need to be read in order either really.

if you have cats, or just love them, you have to read this series. it isn't just adorable (on every single page) but the behaviors of both them and their owners is so absolutely real. yes, remind me that my cats don't understand what I'm saying to them, because that's really gonna stop me from talking to them like they do. or snowball biting all the other cats (and dogs) as a greeting that isn't quite as aggressive as his owners worry that it is. so much fun!

3.5 stars

So cute! I'm really enjoying this slice of life manga. Anything Japanese with cats is fabulous. Plum is such a great cat. My favorite part was Snowball visiting the dogs. So funny! I will say this manga does not have much depth. It's basically just cute cat content. But there's nothing wrong with that! Not sure if there are more volumes in the series, but I would definitely read them if there are.

Purchased this manga in a swift hand motion though its beyond my budget when I saw that super kawaii kitten cover, lol! It's the first time I saw a manga with super cute cat leads! Literally finished reading it overnight. Very funny and relatable to cat persons like me, it's a very special addition to my crazy cat bookshelf. :3

¡Muy divertido! Me recordó mucho al libro “el dulce hogar de Chi” y me convencí de comprarlo. Claro, el contenido es distinto pero la satisfacción y la diversión es muchísimo. ¡Muy recomendado también!

Plum and Snowball are back with more stories of their growing pains. These two kitties may have a major like/dislike relationship, but boy are they cute! The humans try to figure out how to settle the kitten down.

[Elizabeth · Rating 4 out of 5]

Not quite as cute as the first book, but it's still an enjoyable manga.

[Lizz · Rating 4 out of 5]

Absolutely adorable!

[Kathleen · Rating 3 out of 5]

These books get a bit repetitive, to the point where introducing new cats or characters is about the only plot.

[Dylan · Rating 4 out of 5]

Another super cute cat manga! I really like the adventures our kittens go on in this volume! And the relationship between Plum and Snowball is very realistic and cute.

Söpöily jatkuu. Upposi kolmas-nelosvinkkausryhmiin. Hyvä että Tammi on panostanut toimitustyöhön eikä ole käännetty hutaisten

[Lonely Panda · Rating 4 out of 5]

Aussi chou que le premier!

[Kristin · Rating 3 out of 5]

More adventures of the saintly cat, Plum and her spoiled kitten roommate, Snowball. This volume also introduces comic strip 'shorts' from the kitties' point of view.
