Reviews

[Nicolo · Rating 3 out of 5]

The author adds a multiple part story that dives into the backstory of Flora the goth artist and Oscar the bald cop. Actual character development looms for out two main characters. The stories remain unapologetically supernatural and heavy on the mystic vibe and eldritch cats.

Volume 1 ★★★★★
Volume 2 ★★★★☆
Volume 3 ★★★★★
Volume 4 ★★★★☆

I evidently spoke too soon when I said in my review of Volume 2 that there wasn't a cohesive storyline, because the plot felt much more linear and fleshed-out in this volume—and it was my favorite volume yet! I immediately placed a library hold on Volume 4 and can't wait to read the next one. I'm happy we finally got to see some communication between Flora and Oscar!

It's been a couple years since I picked up the last volume, and this one does little to help me remember the situation and the characters, going so far as to leave some unnamed. And the writing is so vague that it took me a while to understand what is happening this time, but once I fell into the groove, I had a good time as our Goth heroine, Flora Cloud, deals with her childhood bully and a brand new bully named Symphonia, all with the help of Meawbin the Creepy Cat and all his many bizarre cat friends.

I'm going to try the next volume sometime in the coming month to keep up the momentum this volume has built.

A paranoid goth girl named Flora moves into a decrepit mansion haunted by creepy supernatural shapeshifting cats. Whacky hijinks ensue.

This is a really goofy slapstick comedy series where each chapter is a single page joke with a ridiculous concept. The series pokes fun at classic gothic horror cliches and tropes with wholesome cat-themed humor. Some of the concepts and subplots revolving around the main characters aren't that good admittedly, but all the stuff revolving around the creepy cats just doing crazy cute stuff is great.

Overall I enjoyed the gothic ghost story aesthetic combined with the funny cat jokes.

My rating: 3.4/5

2.5

Loving the art and the cute characters, but the storytelling is quite childish.

At least this one has more of a plot to it, hence the extra half star.

All 3 are very quick reads. Vol 2 got weird, but 3 was better. Cute, but definitely not my favorite genre.

[Alysha · Rating 5 out of 5]

I think this book is a 4.5 but I love the series so much I leaned into the 5. It’s fun and different and full of cats. What’s not to like?

I absolutely loved this one! The lore is becoming more and more interesting, and I absolutely love centipede cat.

Finally some plot! Hanging in there for my daughter, who doesn’t like reading much but (like me) loves all things cat.

[Lex · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ahhh finally had some action. Been waiting for something else to happen lol. But as always, it’s fun!

[angelofmine1974 · Rating 4 out of 5]

I just realized that I have not caught up with this series! Love this book! Our poor girl Flora finds out that Oscar took her sketchbook in high school. However, there is something more malicious and evil regarding the sketchbook that is beyond Flora and Oscar. As usual, love all the cats in all the forms! Caterpillar cat!! Love the artwork, the characters and the storyline.

Toujours aussi perché et amusant, j'ai apprécié de retrouver Flora et Creepy Cat, ainsi que tous les autres personnages dans cette aventure déjantée.

[DevOroria · Rating 5 out of 5]

On m’a très fortement conseillé ce manga (assez court, seulement 4 tomes) et quand j’ai pu le découvrir j’ai été très agréablement surprise. Alors certes, tout le concept de l’univers se résume au titre de ce livre : un chat flippant qui vient habiter avec une jeune fille dans son manoir. Si l’origine de ce chat reste longtemps mystérieuse, on se délecte tout de même de ces petites scènes qui marquet le récit. Plus on progresse dans les tomes, plus on sent la profondeur et la complexité (relative, ça reste un court manga humoristique) de l’univers. De ce fait, même si on découvre petit à petit l’univers, on prend quand même plaisir à lire cette histoire, ne serait-ce que pour le récit en lui-même.

L’histoire est dans l’ensemble plutôt réussie. L’intrigue se construit petit à petit, avec quelques éléments çà et là qui la font progresser tout doucement mais surement. Ainsi, avec les différentes actions qui ponctuent le récit, l’histoire tend à s’accélérer et à prendre plus d’ampleur, tout en restant très abordable. J’ai été agréablement surprise par la composition qui ne freine absolument pas : ce n’est pas parce que l’histoire est fragmentée par des petites scènes comiques régulières qu’elle n’avance pas à un rythme agréable. En effet, si l’intrigue se met en place doucement, elle s’accélère petit à petit pour trouver un rythme de croisière agréable qui permet au lecteur de suivre avec intérêt cette intriguant histoire.

Les personnages sont également plutôt bien réussis, je trouve. Si on se concentre majoritairement sur l’héroïne, la propriétaire de cet étrange chat, sa personnalité est donc extrêmement bien travaillée et elle apparait d’autant plus adorable au fil des pages. Si j’ai pu très facilement m’attacher à cette peintre, c’est également le cas des autres personnages de ce roman qui sont eux-aussi très bien travaillés. Ils s’attachent certes à un certain archétype, mais ils n’en restent pas moins agréables à découvrir, avec des éléments qui restent uniques et qui évoluent au fil de la lecture, notamment grâce aux relation qui se façonnent au fil du récit. Ces dernières apportent un vrai plus à l’histoire, car elles permettent d’explorer plusieurs points de vue.

La plume de l’autrice est assez particulière il faut bien le souligner. D’abord, les dessins en couleurs offrent un rendu vraiment originaux dans le monde des mangas et apporte pas mal d’éléments qui rendent ce manga unique en son genre. De plus, elle arrive à créer une atmosphère particulière qui va parfaitement avec son récit. Si l’histoire oscille entre avancée et scène d’humour, l’atmosphère est, incroyable mais vrai, parfaitement adaptée aux deux versions. Elle oscille entre humour et coté plus sombre avec une élégance parfaitement adaptée, ce qui enveloppe le lecteur et lui fait enchaîner les pages avec rapidité pour connaitre le fin mot de cette histoire. Les messages restent assez sympas à découvrir et marquent avec panache le récit.

Un manga court mais à découvrir

[☾⋆⁺ Nurse After Dark · Rating 4 out of 5]

Third in series, I think I liked this one more than Volume Two! The longer story arcs were more engaging, and the classic one-page entertaining stories were still there and still cute as hell.

I have been noticing a few small editing errors - nothing that's taken away from my read though! In the occasional set of frames, the text seems to read from left to right, and then right to left a frame later. A little confusing when you aren't used to the Japanese style of reading manga!

My youngest daughter declared this volume her favorite (thus far) in the series. After completing this volume, I can see why. In Suttle ways the art has steadily improved (and I think it was excellent from the beginning of the series). There is something about the short stories in this one that just hits a little better and differently. I like the stories, which I felt return to multipage stories (the last book had a lot of stand-alone stories but the newfound danger in this volume is both entertaining and eyebrow raising! Assassins! Witches! Painting! This volume has it all and will keep you entertained from cover to cover.

[Melanie · Rating 3 out of 5]

My only beef with this series is the fact that it’s drawn as manga and poorly. The editor did a terrible job… a lot of the panels read right to left which is traditional, but then all of a sudden it’s left to right which is really confusing especially since this series is aimed at younger kids who are likely just learning how to read manga properly.

The art is cute, I like the characters and creepy cat is so adorable… if you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to have a cat, this is spot on. But the style of it (art and story) should have just been presented as a graphic novel, not manga.

I am loving how this series is building. This one works in a continuous story, featuring a mysterious art enthusiast, a new creepy cat friend, and a bit of relucent teamwork between Oscar and Creepy. Love how all the characters came together in this one. And we finally find out the connection between Flora and Oscar!

This is such a fun series. Cute, creepy, and entertaining. The artwork is wonderful and I enjoyed the mystery and action of this one. Can't wait to read Volume 4.

[Drine Psylook · Rating 4 out of 5]

Au début, ça tourne un peu en rond. On retrouve un peu les mêmes astuces : les facéties de Creepy et de Hime, la passion de Flora pour le dessin ainsi que sa professionnalisation.
Et puis, y a un moment où ça se décante et l’intrigue avance au point de nous donner des éléments de réponses au sujet d’indices disséminés dans les tomes précédents.
J’ai beaucoup aimé ce troisième tome.

Le meilleur tome jusque là ! J'ai adoré. Les dessins sont toujours aussi magnifiques. Par contre l'histoire a beaucoup progressé et j'ai adoré en découvrir plus et mieux comprendre ce qu'il se passait.
La fille aux cheveux rouges m'intrigue, j'espère la revoir dans le tome 4.
J'ai beaucoup aimé l'intrigue. Les histoires avaient un fil qui les reliaient ce qui donnait plus de cohérence que dans les autres tomes, c'est une belle évolution !

[Mandee · Rating 5 out of 5]

Reading the third installment of Creepy Cat gave me chills, and I felt that Flora's character flourished even more. Seeing the magic behind her paintings was something truly enchanting in my opinion. I am saddened by how quickly I've approached the end of these adventures but I am excited for what lies ahead for our beloved characters!

[Delphine VDK · Rating 5 out of 5]

Je suis tellement fan de l'univers de Creepy Cat ! Ce style gothique est incroyable. Les personnages sont loufoques et un peu effrayants aussi, il faut le dire. Flora est trop mignonne dans sa naïveté mais on apprend également qu'elle n'est pas du genre à se laisser faire. Creepy Cat est un chat très drôle. Vraiment j'adore !

[Elaine Fultz, Teacher Librarian, MLS · Rating 4 out of 5]

These are just fun. Some of the humor doesn't translate for those of us who don't read a ton of manga, but all the cat humor will be understood by anyone who has ever befriended a feline. And the darkness is a bonus. Hello Wednesday fans. Why don't the Addamses have a cat?

[r0zberry · Rating 3 out of 5]

The panels are NOT in correct manga reading order, which makes the story annoying to follow.

Love the art. Love the spooky, adorable, and paranormal cat shenanigans. Strong dislike that panels don’t follow the book’s own reading instructions.

[Eleonora · Rating 4 out of 5]

In questo volume vediamo il passato di Flora e il legame con Oscar. Mi è piaciuto conoscere quello che i due hanno condiviso nel passato.
Le scene finali con Dracula mi hanno fatto morire dalle risate.
Sono molto curiosa di vedere cosa li attende nell'ultimo volume

[Rachel Christoffersen · Rating 5 out of 5]

My goodness, I just love the Creepy Cat world so much! The artwork is absolutely stunning, and the world created brings me such joy. I adored the addition of Coffee and getting to know more of Oscar and Flora's backgrounds.
