Junji Ito’s Cat Diary: Yon & Mu

Junji Ito, the master of horror manga, turns his precise, unsettling style on a surprisingly domestic subject: his own life with cats. Published by Kodansha USA, this single-issue, semi-autobiographical comic from 2015 captures the chaos and charm of living with two felines, Yon and Mu. It’s a delightful, lightly humorous departure from Ito’s usual terror, showing his signature art and storytelling applied to the everyday absurdities of pet ownership.
