Story: Cats are indeed the perfect pet. They sleep a lot, they are independent, and they poop in a sandbox. I bought the book expecting actual cats in the story. But instead we get sexy men that can transform into cats. The fluffy little angel in one panel, can transform into an adult human in the next panel... The story in general is pretty darn boring. We have the sadistic humor that the protagonist is forced against his will to work for very little money. Combined with a highschool sub-plot and melodramatic encounters. This story is in every single way 'barely average'. The only thing that made this manga stand out, and trick me into spending my money, was the promise of cats. And yet there's not one single cat in the manga.
Art: Yes, the "cats" are cute and fluffy, absolutely amazing cat drawings, a perfect 10. But when the art is showing them as humans, it's very boring and mediocre. Cat ears and tails on grown men. Overall a very standardized line up of characters. Immature cutie, sadist glasses, flashy player, they are all here.
Overall: I ordered a cute manga with plenty of cats. But I was served a group of men with cat ears, and a bad mix of personality on the top. DO NOT buy this for the cats. If you want BL bait with sexy men, stories of men growing to trust each other and making new sexy male friends along the way. Then you should buy this. This story is similar to 'Free' and 'Yuri on Ice', male friendship is the whole point, you might get some kind of plot, but the men and all their drama is the whole point. Know this, and then decide if the cat drawings are worth it.
This manga feels like an otome version of Nekopara. Good or bad, that's for the readers to decide.
