my kind of medicine.

i've read a lot of japanese literature about cats since i discovered how much it rocks, but this didn't hit the same.

this was similar to what you are looking for is in the library and the travelling cat chronicles in that it's about people's problems being solved by a mysterious entity that knows just their very solution, but it wasn't as good.

the characters didn't feel as real and the world felt a little harsher and also goofier.

not to mention the weird and bizarrely dark magical subplot.

but who's to say.

bottom line: good, not great!
