Praise for Junji Ito's Cat Diary: Yon & Mu

"The funniest comic that I've read in--please forgive me--a cat's age. ... Ito is the creator of nerve-shredding horror comics like Uzumaki, and even though Cat Diary is an autobiographical story about life as a pet owner, Ito brings all of his skill as a horror genius to the table... Recommended." -Otaku USA Magazine

"Incredibly memorable...Whether you're a die-hard Ito fan, a cat lover, or both, you will absolutely adore this manga." -Dread Central

"Junji Ito proves just as adept at capturing life with kitties as he is at horror, and the story is by turns touching, hilarious, and heartbreaking." -Anime News Network
