Ein kleines süßes Kätzchen hat sich verlaufen. Viel Zeit zum Traurigsein bleibt nicht, denn es wird von Familie Yamada aufgenommen, die es nach kürzester Zeit um die Pfote wickelt. Für Chi gilt es, die Welt zu entdecken. Und das tut sie − voller Energie und Leidenschaft − gemeinsam mit dem dreijährigen Yohei. Das richtige Futter, der Gang zur Katzentoilette, lustiges Spielzeug, das erste Bad und die nötigen Streicheleinheiten sind nur die ersten Schritte im Zusammenleben mit dem neuen Familienmitglied.
Wer Katzen kennt, wird einen Riesenspaß dabei haben, sich selbst und das Haustier in allen erdenklichen Situationen wieder zu erkennen. Und wer noch keine Katze hat, wird es sich vielleicht schnell überlegen, ein kleines Kätzchen anzuschaffen. Chi erobert die Herzen im Sturm – neugierig, mutig, frech und süß. Diese Katze muss man einfach gern haben!

Chi and Cocchi meet new cats and they become friends quickly too. Weirdly enough, these two new cats not only have a similar appearance as Chi but also behave a lot like her. I wonder if that's her family where she got lost as a little. Based on the size of Chi, not much time passed since the Yamada family adopted her. I think that the manga series will end that she found her true family again.

I hope that if that actually happens that Chi stays in touch with Cochi. He's a real friend!

(It's also funny how Chi gets reminded a lot that she's a cat and she has always the same reaction to it).

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.

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!!

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.

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?....

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…

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.

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! ;__;

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

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

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.
