"i've said it before and i'll say it again: i love the niche subgenre of japanese lit fic about cats!

this is kind of like , except instead of a magical librarian solving the problems of the various unhappy people in her community, it's a cat up for adoption within a friend group doing the happy magic.

i like cats only slightly less than librarians (this is goodreads after all), which matches my feelings about these respective books.

also the fact that it is SIGNIFICANTLY SADDER, and made me feel UPSET and EMOTIONAL instead of spiritually healed.

but in a nice way.

i guess.

bottom line: boo emotions, yay cats.
