Reviews 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
