Hard-Boiled Stories from the Cat Bar

In Hard-Boiled Stories from the Cat Bar (2021–present, Yen Press), a lone, grizzled cat runs a watering hole for the supernatural and the strange, serving up tall tales and cold drinks in a world where the mundane meets the mysterious. Illustrated by Yourei Ono, this single-issue comic introduces a quietly melancholic, feline noir atmosphere that invites readers to linger over its beautifully drawn, intimate vignettes.
