About the series
Cat Shit One is a gritty military action series from Waneko, launched in 2006 and ongoing, that reimagines the Vietnam War through the eyes of anthropomorphic animal soldiers. Known for its meticulously researched combat sequences and surprisingly realistic tactical detail, the series is most associated with creator Motofumi Kobayashi, whose background in military illustration gives the carnage an unflinching, documentary-like weight. Though only three issues long, it stands out for its audacious premise—using cute, fuzzy characters to explore the brutal realities of modern warfare—and has earned a cult following among fans of both war comics and alternative manga.
