Synopsis
MEWSHIDO In medieval Japan, it’s a hard life for a stray cat. Every day is filled with struggles and prejudice, from oppression by fellow cats working for cruel masters to extortion by catnip druglords. But being a stray also means incredible pride and independence. The wandering samurai Norachiyo has no master, though he still wears the telltale bell of a cat who has a “person.” This rogue warrior travels across Japan, protecting the weak and cutting down those who have forgotten the virtues of being a stray – all with unrivaled swordsmanship. Although Norachiyo leaves little trace but his fearsome reputation, this enigmatic warrior has made plenty of enemies who are more than willing to get their claws on his head. Will Norachiyo’s past catch up with him, or can he spend his nine lives in freedom?

Cliches and disappointment.
For me I feel like the author is going with a unique plot, but mediocre world/character building. Yeah Cats as characters? Why not? But there's also humans, hmmm, how to solve this little problem, nahh who cares, is what I think is what in the author's mind.
The cats were introduced as pets, with masters which are humans. And then cats also live in the country as a society. There are cities and villages that are populated with cats.
Now what do you thinks will happen if humans and cats have societies? Yep, totally nonsense.
You would see a big cat holding a club and read more
