Yukiharu solves the dubious mystery of the kitchen hauntings, but life with a bunch of male cat spirits is not going to get any easier. The flashiest and most demanding cat, Kyou, refuses to accept him and the reason why might be too much for him to overcome…
The whole haunting thing hangs together worse than the average Scooby-Doo episode, so lets just gloss past that really quickly. The solution ends up introducing another cat into the mix, which is fun, but it is not the best part of this volume by any stretch.
It’s one thing for a human to lose a pet, but how does a pet feel when it loses its human? Pretty similarly, as it turns out. Kyou is the second oldest of the catboys, but he’s arguably the least mature with his neediness and resentment of this replacement for Yukiharu’s father, Shuu.
What, precisely, is this series about? I think it’s an excuse to draw catboys who look bishonen as heck in human form and adorably cuddly in cat form, and have Yukiharu be super attentive in a practically BL sort of way with the grooming and massages. And as far as that goes? Mission accomplished!
Yet it also knows how to bring a surprising amount of emotion and even if Kyou is lashing out in a miserable fashion to a loss, it’s wholly believable and he is unquestionably his own worst enemy. The late night scene after he walks out on hot pot (the monster!) is really melancholy. It’s a nice reminder that wounds heal, but not always as easily as we think.
Of course, it’s also pretty amusing. Beneath all this drama lurks cats being cats, and with the spotlight off them, Akira and Susumu goof off constantly in the back and foreground. Susumu’s endless penchant for food and donuts is great.
The last fifty pages is the dreaded one-shot that lead to serialization, but in this instance it’s actually a story set in the past about Shuu. And it’s kind of great, to my chagrin, as I do not like one-shots as a rule. It neatly sidesteps its unimportance to the actual story by positing itself as a flashback.
Yes, this tale involves Shuu’s haunting by a recently deceased feline who curses him for no reason, but all the bad luck in the world can’t keep Shuu from loving him. This leans hard into a man being super gay for a cat, which, yes, that’s on brand, and is equally sweet and funny - Shuu doesn’t seem to bat an eyelash at getting run over and other such mayhem the curse is causing.
3.5 stars and we’ll round up because I loved the emotional parts, even if some cat behaviour is pretty harsh, which, I mean, they’re cats, it happens. A silly read that had surprising depth to it and even managed to sneak in a one-shot I didn’t hate? Passing grade, to say the least.

hmmm, not sure how I felt about this volume, just that I did not enjoy it as much as I hoped to.

First volume was about the younger kitties, but this one was about the older cats. First, one of them tests if Yukiharu can be trusted with the cats, which he of course can be, defending them against a scary foe.
Most of the volume is taken by the relations between Yukiharu and Kyou, the most beautiful of the cats. He’s been the favourite of Yukiharu’s father and can’t accept that he’s dead or accept Yukiharu as his replacement. Yukiharu is determined to be liked by the mercurial cat, but deep in grieving, the young man isn’t making it easy. Some thawing happens towards the end of the volume though, mostly because Kyou is embarrased by how he behaved when he was drunk.
This was more intense and moving than the first volume, with fewer silly antics, although the cats are definitely cats, even Kyou. Little by little, Yukiharu is settling into his new life as a cat servant. I’ll definitely read on.

Eh. This volume didn’t come off as well as the first for me. There’s nothing inherently wrong with it, but I felt like the “fridge phantom” storyline wasn’t that interesting to start, let alone to take up so much time. The Kyou thing wasn’t bad, but it didn’t really make me feel more connected to the characters the way I guess it was supposed to… and then we had the original short story taking up a big chunk of space, so not much happened.
I will bump up one more star now that I think of it bc the original story was really good and made me cry (in a good way). I’ll see how the next volume goes, but I may end up unsubscribing if that one is meh.

A return foray into the adventures of Yukiharu who has come to work off his debts at the bakeneko household. These spirit,cats constantly test him and get into mischievous hijinks. We find Yukiharu is trying to also gain more of their trust, especially to the very distrusting Kyou. Apparently, this particular kitty has some trust and abandonment issues. Leaves off on a bit of a cliffhanger, which I will have to catch up on in the next volume!

The story does get better as it goes on, but the cats are still difficult to keep straight and it's an odd mix of those who create mischief, those who are cruel, and those who have warmed up to Yukiharu at this point in the story. Can't say I love it or it's leaning towards a favorite, but it's enjoyable enough I'd rather finish it than leave it hanging.

Just keeps getting better! It’s so cute and I still emotional over it. I just want to hung my cat all over again. Can’t wait for volume 3.

This whole thing is a mess.
These cats are crazy.

A very cute, and still definitely odd, sequel! The cats are adorable and it’s fun to follow along and see what happens to the cats and their manservant!

Most people only joke about being owned by their cats! This boy and his charges are all mourning the same man, and it get surprisingly heartfelt.

It was so good :). I kinda feel bad for Kyou and his backstory w/ Shuu’s dad.

Omg the bonus story....😭😭😭 But also ♥️♥️♥️

Just what I needed today, apparently. Especially enjoyed the short story at the end, it actually made me tear up (yes, my day was that bad). Will read the next volume.

Actual rating: 3.5
I enjoyed this volume. I love seeing more of Kyou's emotions and really, I am here for the cats and gorgeous men.

Was not prepared for the despair of someone dealing with the grief of losing a loved one…. Death sucks.

Cute second volume. Definitely developing. With only 2 more volumes to go, please read my reviews for first volume and final volume for more thoughts on the series as a whole.

This wasn't as enjoyable as the first volume since there were less location changes, but I still enjoyed learning more about different characters.

So funny with awesome artwork. More adult themed than teen.

Any gripes I had with the first volume have, I am happy to report, been put to rest. I have now found my stride with its storyline and am deeply invested now. Kyou reminds me so much of my now departed cat, Ravenpaw, so I was already on emotionally unstable ground when the bonus pilot comic at the end came out swinging. By the end, I was closing the last page and wiping away tears.
