review 1: Incredibly--almost nauseatingly--cute. I think that if I read several volumes at once I would start to fantasize about Chi being eaten by a crocodile. Fortunately these volumes are the very definition of "small dose.". The artist has a good grasp of feline behavior, and, since this is intended for younger readers, a certain amount of fluffiness is to be expected. As long as my kid is reading these, I probably will too, but I may need insulin injections to survive much more.
review 2: June 2011: An adorable series! And another adorable entry. I didn't find volume 2 quite as hilarious as the first but it was still funny and just as cute. Cute little chapters in which the family is getting used to raising a pet and other's where Chi is exploring and learnin... moreg about life. He no longer misses his mother and siblings but he does have a couple of flashbacks of things that remind him of that comforting time. While there is no real overarching plot to this volume there is the hanging nuisance of a large cat in the apartment complex who is causing trouble knocking over flowerpots, stealing salmon and he invades Chi's home. Chi begins to meet him more often and at this point learns that he is a cat not the same kind as the family he lives with, though he doesn't really believe it. Though the family has no problems this time with being caught with the cat, except for one near miss. There is some foreshadowing that this large troublemaker cat, similar in looks to a bear, may be the downfall for any hidden pet cats in the complex. In the note at the back we learn about the author's background a bit and find that this is not her first foray into manga, but that it was her first manga written for a men's weekly comic anthology. It is surprising to hear that the intended audience was men since the story is so suitable for children but then on the other hand the father's emotions and attachment to the cat are presented much more as story elements than the mother's. A really cute, funny series!Reread Jan, 2014: I'm re-reading this so I can finally continue on with the whole series. My impressions are the same and I enjoyed it fully. Chi is endearing to all really, though I think there will be a certain amount of people who find it over the edge of syrupy sweet. I'm the last person to like that type of stuff and kawaii is sooo not me, but Chi has captured my heart and I'm looking forward to the next volume where I think Blackie will become more of a character. My rating still stands at 4/5. less
