Fairy Cat, by Hisa Takano

[rachelmanija]

One rainy day Kanade, a high school student, finds a mouse-sized cat in his room. It's a fairy cat or "palm-sized cat!" They are elusive magical creatures which sometimes adopt humans, but mostly behave like ordinary cats. Only extra-tiny!

That's about it for the plot. What this manga is actually about is showing an incredibly adorable tiny cat being an incredibly adorable tiny cat. It's an incredibly adorable manga. Proof:

Ahhhhh just LOOK at it

[cyphomandra]

Ooh I should totally get this to replace Cat + Gamer, which just finished! (manga in which gaming-mad office worker Riko has to adapt after she takes in a stray kitten)

[rachelmanija]

I've been meaning to start that one!

Holds placed for volumes 1 & 2! Both electronic and paper. The latter are in the children's section, but I personally expect them to have therapeutic value, and so could imagine them also shelved elsewhere.

That reminds me of the opposite end of the (relative) size spectrum. I'm only partway through the anime The Masterful Cat is Depressed Again Today, about a stray kitten who was adopted growing up human sized and doing housework, including grocery shopping. And then of course there's Kyaa from Please Save My Earth, who is larger than (some) people.

Oh yes. It is 100% about having a pet tiny magical cat.

Now THAT is a book that's absolutely rolling around in its premise!
