Cat on the Hero’s Lap #3

Volume 3 of Cat on the Hero's Lap delivers a wonderfully expressive cover from artist Shiori, showing a red-eyed hero clutching two very vocal cats — a wide-eyed tortoiseshell and a cool-headed orange tabby — against a softly swirling snowfall. The contrast between the hero's startled intensity and the cats' wildly different reactions (one hollering, one utterly unbothered) captures the charming chaos at the heart of Kousuke Iijima's story. A cozy, character-driven manga that keeps getting more delightful with each volume.
