Creepy Cat: Neko to Watashi no Kimyou na Seikatsu

I found this manga today and since it´s description is really vague I decided to write a review. So even though this manga has now 187 chapters it´s actually very quick read since one chapter equals one page.

This manga belongs to comedy, supernatural and horror genre (which is very light so even a scaredy cat like me is fine reading this). It definitely isn´t a slice of life as MAL states, since it´s about titular Creepy cat that is definitely not a cat. Or at least not a normal one. So if you are looking for sloce of life I suggest looking somewhere else.

The story is mainly episodic though it usually lasts longer than one chapter. It´s about slightly dense girl Flora that moves to an old scary looking house where the Creepy cat lives and their life together. As I mentioned before Creepy cat is definitely not your normal cat since it can for example stretch indefinitely, multiply into more cats or grow big. And when I say big I mean like an adult horse big.

When it comes to characters we have the Creepy cat that is a huge question mark (sometimes literally huge, lol), slightly dense but somehow lovable Flora, Oscar (police officer that fell in love with her a thus has to deal with antics of Creepy cat) and Hime (a kitten found by Flora that is also not a normal cat). There are also other characters like supernatural creatures investigation people, police cat Kokoro and police office staff but we still don´t know much about them.

I really like the art since it´s very different and it has slight Adams family vibes. It´s also in full color though main colors are black and red. Since i read a lot of manga, it is such a nice change of pace for me.

Overall I enjoy reading this manga, though it is not a masterpiece, it is still a very decent read. I´m eagerly awaiting new chapters so I can continue reading this manga. I would recommend it to people who like cats, supernatural, supernatural cats, supernatural creep cats and so on. Thanks for reading this rambling review of mine and I hope you will enjoy the manga.

Kind of creepy that the time I reviewed this is just after someone else did. It must be the work of Creepy Cat! The story is about Flora and her pet that for simplicity's sake, we'll call a "Creepy Cat". Up until now, it's not clear what they are.

STORY:
The story is episodic in nature and sometimes are related to the previous chapters. They barely go anywhere and will mostly be something bizarre or occult.

ART:
Gothic style is cool and fits the theme.

CHARACTERS:
They're ok but kind of weird and mysterious that I sometimes wonder what they are.

ENJOYMENT:
I read around 188 then I got bored after the date chapter.

OVERALL:
It's worth a read as they are very short and also if you are into gothic style. Don't expect too much in plot progression though.

This manga feels much like a 'gag-a-day' strip as most pages can stand on their own and offer a comedic punchline. On occasion there will be a small arc that covers a number of pages; this happens more often the further into the story you go.

As for plot, there isn't really much yet or, at the very least, the story is only just starting to get into one. Most arcs just uncover character backstory or explore the existing world a bit.

All this said, I actually quite enjoyed the world in this story. The art is very fitting and I am rather fond of it. The characters aren't extremely deep or fleshed out but the more recent pages are working on this and the main character is still charming enough to enjoy sticking around for.

The "Creepy Cat" is effectively a cat that looks hella sketch, is smarter than you think, and can do things physically that would make anyone think they are in a nightmare / horror flick. Many punchlines initially simply rely on the cat using its powers in a 'creepy' fashion but as it starts feeling normal you start noticing that the whole world in this story is kinda like this.

Overall the experience is chill and you'll have a general feel for the story style within the first couple pages.
