Koi Neko (Manga)

Drawing a comedy-based middle-school life manga can end up being an analogue with many ones flooding within the market. This is not the case if some 'cream' is added, and the author of Koi Neko chose a well dressing indeed.

The story may seem carefree, shallow and has no real topic at all, but reading chapters after chapters, what I sense is that they are quite well organized. The tale unfold as it should, scattered with plentiful fan-service around the way to keep you from getting bored. Romance and drama occasionally appear, yet don't usually last very long. Stereotypes of the characters, mainly human and cats, always light up liveliness; too bad that some funny ones only appear for a short moment. Normally, a character, Nao to be exact, can be apparently stiff in expressing emotion, but you'll realize later that it is the series' characteristic. (I find her adorable) There's not much to expect from middle-schoolers' B/W/H, so forget big boobs (Looks great to me though), except from the only appearing female teacher. A small amount of the jokes are ethnic-specific (language based pun, for example) and enjoyment may vary on localization. (I'm glad the Thai version is funny) I haven't got an eye on the English version so I can't be sure about how the 'jokes' are interpret. Nevertheless, I still recommend this title for its good story, characters and art. read more
