Hard-Boiled Stories from the Cat Bar by Ono Yourei

dark funny sad tense slow-paced

3.5

This was a hard one to rate. On one hand, once the pieces (finally) started clicking together chronologically, it was an interesting story. I just can’t rate it 4 stars - technically I am only because Goodreads doesn’t do half stars. The fact that the 3 main guys all look similar REALLY confused me. I mean, the plot kind of did too until it did the ‘this is what happened we didn’t show you before’ thing that helped connect the dots.

While I did end up mostly understanding, this one’s tough to decide whether I actually enjoyed it. But hey, at least it was well illustrated and had cats!
