Description

A cat-like book

that doesn’t always go as planned, the book made in collaboration with legendary book designer cozfish’s Sobue Shin!

Just so you know . . .

When you find yourself
living with a cat
You shouldn’t
expect too much.

 

Such a happy insult.
That’s right!
It brings a smile to my face and tears of love to my eyes.

— Nao Minamisawa (actress)
