Is there anything spookier than a silent feline, eyes glinting, stalking you in the night...in your own home? Master of horror Junji Ito turns his twisted eye on his own life in this comedic graphic memoir about becoming a cat owner. Now reissued in a deluxe hardcover, it features an exclusive interview with Ito and a new cover illustration by the author that glows in the dark! It is the perfect gift for the slightly-twisted cat lover in your life.

Junji Ito's Cat Diary: Yon & Mu Collector's Edition presents a series of hysterical tales chronicling Junji Ito's real-life trials and tribulations of becoming a cat owner. Junji Ito, as J-kun, has recently built a new house and has invited his fiancΓ©e, A-ko, to live with him. Little did he know, his blushing bride-to-be has some unexpected company in towβ€”Yon, a ghastly-looking family cat, and Mu, an adorable Norwegian forest cat.

Despite being a dog person, J-kun finds himself persuaded by their odd cuteness, and thus begins his comedic struggle to gain the affection of his new feline friends.
