A Quokka Dreeds its Weird

OEL manga. Ameya, an artist, has gone into a decline since his cat Luka died three years ago(if he was named after the Suzanne Vega song, possibly from falling off the second floor.) But when he finds a stray cat, Loki, Ameya rediscovers an interest in life and art. That is to say, 150 pages of a cat running around a house interspersed with dull human-human interaction.

This was not my cup of tea. The pace is glacial and there's no suspense even of the quiet, naturalistic variety one might expect. Ameya has no personality other than being weirdly over-attached to his cat. His presumed love interest (his agent) is inexplicably against him getting attached to a new cat even though he's been a listless mess without one for three years. She even tries to stop him from retrieving Loki when he runs away, and this made me hate her.

The animals are sometimes shown as cat-boys and other animal-people. This seems to not be literally real, but a representation of them from their own perspectives or something. I think it was supposed to be charming, but it creeped me out. Don't cuddle the pre-pubescent cat-boy, Ameya!
