“Cat Language Textbook” will be released on July 20, 2024. The original has sold about 200,000 copies! A comic adaptation of the popular work that has been popular for 26 years and is still going strong.
The first book in the series, “Cat Language Textbook” (manga by Sashima Katana, original story by Paul Gallico), will be released on Saturday, July 20, 2024.
This is a very unique work that is “a textbook on human discipline written by a cat for cats.” It is a masterpiece that sharply depicts the true nature of humans from a cat's perspective, and even if you are not interested in cats, you will surely be amazed.
The original Japanese translation was published by Chikumashobo 26 years ago. It has sold a total of 200,000 copies and remains a popular classic to this day.
This time, we will be delivering a manga that will make you laugh and cry, depicting the cats' struggle to dominate humans, while retaining all the fun of the original.
