Life continues on at the shelter and cat cafe as Maruru and Hachi learn to adjust even more.

I absolutely love learning more about Roku in this volume – even with his tough demeanor he still loves and cares for the kittens on his turf and you can tell he’s lost so many over the years. Hachi and Roku even start seeing eye to eye a little more as Roku recovers and starts taking care of the kittens.

I also love Maruru’s time in the cafe and how much he just loves hamming it up because he just loves people but then he meets the top cafe cat, Onigiri, who is fiercely protective of his Top Cat status.

Maruru, Hachi, and the other strays who were taken in by Yasuo are now living busy lives within its walls. But then Maruru and Hachi discover the shelter has a secret they weren’t aware of!

I loved getting to know more about Yasuo’s backstory and how long his love of cats has gone on.

Also, the amount of things I learn about cats, especially kittens, surprises me each time.

I was heartbroken by Hachi getting left behind and am demanding he gets reunited with Maruru and his friends! I get why they did what they did, but they’re totally bonded!!

Overall, obviously counting down until I get the next volume!
