Compared to Nekojiru Udon, this collection has longer and more involved stories, however lacks the introspective and darker-style chapters (apart from Tsunami/Chapter 9), focusing more on the fictional adventures of Nyatto and Nyata. It has a lot more shock humor than Nekojiru Udon, with every chapter having some sort of violence and cartoon gore. If you've seen the Anime, you've seen most of the stories in this collection, and the themes about racism and stereotyping are abundant and clear in Nekojiru Dango, as it focuses on Nyatto and Nyata's universe and its workings in more depth than Nekojiru has ever went. This feels less personal
...
than Nekojiru Udon, but arguably has even more charm than the the more light-hearted chapters from Udon. I'd highly recommend reading this after reading Udon, as it feels like an extension of those stories.
Tsunami is an outlier in this collection. As far as I know, its the only time that Nekojiru has ever depicted herself as human, rather than feline. To explain its story without spoilers, I believe it's about her having to look past her violent and crazed father's death to appreciate life and its beauties. If anything, read this for that chapter alone.
