Nyankees

In Nyankees (2019–2020), mangaka Atsushi Okada reimagines the classic street-gang manga as a turf war between rival feline clans, complete with alley-cat brawlers, territorial standoffs, and whiskered honor. Published by Yen Press, this six-issue series blends scrappy yankii (delinquent) tropes with deadpan cat humor, creating a surprisingly heartfelt story about loyalty and survival among stray cats. Okada’s dynamic, expressive art captures both the ferocity of catfights and the absurdity of tough-talking tabbies—making it a playful, niche gem for fans of animal comedies and Japanese delinquent stories alike.
