Junji Ito, as J-kun, has recently built a new house and has invited his financée, A-ko, to live with him. Little did he know…his blushing bride-to-be has some unexpected company in tow—Yon, a ghastly-looking family cat, and Mu, an adorable Norwegian forest cat. Despite being a dog person, J-kun finds himself purrsuaded by their odd cuteness and thus begins his comedic struggle to gain the affection of his new feline friends. Review: Unique, Hilarious, Heartbreaking - If you've loved a cat, you're bound to find this little volume deeply relatable. Its short length does nothing to retract from this. The art is very much that of a horror-manga, but it's a slice-of-life series of small anecdotes about living (and loving) cats. The contrast between the two is extremely funny. Think a more sinister and realistic take on Chii's Sweet Home, or perhaps more closely, What's Michael (a longer manga I really recommend if you like this one.) You will have many of the same "that really is how cats are" moment. [SPOILER BELOW, SORT OF] This is why the sadness at the end of the book is so jarring, especially if you've lost a cat before. It ends with what is basically a love letter/homage from the author's wife to one of their cats. If you have lost a cat this will hit home in a very painful manner. But it was also uplifting. One always feels a little lonely in the horrible pain of losing a beloved pet, wondering, does anyone else feel it this way? Is it this hard for everyone? Yes, it is, for many people, as this book will help you realize. At the end of the day, if you're a cat lover who appreciates manga, I recommend this. You will enjoy it. Review: Ito and I are similar to cats. - Cat Diary: Yon & Mu by, Junji Ito is a unique and fascinating work. It's a departure from his typical horror style, offering a glimpse into his personal life as he adjusts to living with two cats: Yon, his fiancée's family cat, and Mu, a Norwegian Forest cat they adopt together. Here are some of my observations: Ito's signature dark humor is present, but it's often derived from the mundane and relatable struggles of cat ownership. Things like cat hair, litter box duty, and the cats mischievous antics are depicted with a wry wit. While the cats are the stars, Ito also provides subtle insights into his own personality and his evolving relationship with his fiancée. Even in this more lighthearted work, Ito's distinctive art style shines through. His detailed linework and expressive characters give the manga a unique visual appeal. Cat Diary: Yon & Mu is a charming and insightful look into the life of one of horror's most celebrated creators. It showcases his versatility as an artist and offers a refreshing change of pace from his more terrifying works. If you're a fan of Junji Ito or simply enjoy stories about cats, I highly recommend checking it out. Lastly, I have three cats of my own and react the same as Ito. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #78,913 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #140 in Seinen Manga #288 in Horror Manga (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.9 out of 5 stars 2,662 Reviews | ## Images ![Junji Ito's Cat Diary: Yon & Mu - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71he+BgCuGL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Unique, Hilarious, Heartbreaking *by M***E on April 24, 2021* If you've loved a cat, you're bound to find this little volume deeply relatable.

When I discovered that an English translation of his autobiographical Cat Diary was available, I pounced on it right away! I'm a cat lady for sure, with two cats of my own, and Junji Ito perfectly captures the combination of adoration and frustration that comes with owning these adorable pets! This manga had me shrieking with laughter more than any other comic I have ever read, any cat person will be able to relate to Junji Ito and his fiancee as they incorporate their two kitties into their new house. I also thoroughly enjoyed that even though the subject matter is not particularly horrific (aside from stepping into cat poop and watching cats take over your life), Junji Ito maintains his horror aesthetic throughout this manga with demented visuals. The combination of cute and creepy is a winning juxtaposition for me - I can't stop recommending this manga to anyone who will listen, even via social media! If you like cats, or know someone who likes cats, you NEED this book in your life. ## Frequently Bought Together - Junji Ito's Cat Diary: Yon & Mu - Uzumaki (3-in-1 Deluxe Edition) (Junji Ito) - Tomie: Complete Deluxe Edition (Junji Ito) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/19741683-junji-itos-cat-diary-yon-and-mu](https://www.desertcart.at/products/19741683-junji-itos-cat-diary-yon-and-mu) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-09-17*
