Junji Ito's Cat Diary: Yon & Mu: Yon & Mu

About

Junji Ito, Japan's master of horror manga, has just built a new house and moved in with his fiancée — along with her two cats: Yon, a ghastly-looking creature with an unsettling stare, and Mu, an adorable Norwegian Forest cat. Despite being a dog person, Ito finds himself drawn into the bizarre, demanding, and oddly terrifying world of cat ownership. The genius of Cat Diary is Ito's commitment to rendering the mundane weirdness of living with cats through his signature horror style. A cat sitting on a shelf becomes a lurking demon. A midnight feeding becomes a scene from a supernatural thriller. The horror techniques are identical; the subject matter is entirely domestic. The result is genuinely, unexpectedly hilarious. The most accurate depiction of cat ownership ever drawn — because only a horror artist truly understands what it's like to live with them.
