Never mind the not particularly top-notch animation here, Chi's Sweet Home still manages to make everyone's favourite kitten both irresistibly adorable and hugely expressive. In this latest batch of miniature episodes, Chi discovers the joy that is known to every household cat as sitting on a window ledge and looking out over the world (no matter what problems that might cause your owners), what it's like to taste human food both good and bad, the dilemma that is what to do wen your owner is having fun in the bath (toys versus water, can there be a worse conflict for a cat?), and the battle with said owner for space on the bed at night, a battle which the cat is guaranteed to win 100% of the time (something I've learned from years of bitter experience).The beauty of Chi's Sweet Home is that Chi is so... well... cat-like. Anyone who owns or has owned a cat of kitten will instantly recognise most of the behaviour on show here, and revel in its familiarity. At just a few minutes apiece, every episode of this series is a tiny little gem that's always guaranteed to put a smile on your face.

I enjoyed putting myself in the protagonists’ shoes to wrestle with such impossible decisions. The harder the options, the more I admired the story weaving that [...]

Avoiding spoilers for Vampire Knight is pretty tricky, especially since it’s so easily available at One Manga. I am looking at the manga but for background information and not just to bawww at the images. Then there are the blogs, spoiler-risque, and it’s my fault for reading them really. It’s okay though, as long as [...]

Here’s an ethical situation for y’all: You’re a reporter standing at an edge of a lake. In the distance, you spot a boy drowning. You have the means and ability to save him and saving him will not have any unintended consequences (he isn’t a child Hitler or anything.) There’s also no one [...]

Let’s start off with a question for you: MangaBlog reader David Hearst recently asked me to recommend some manga. Here’s what he likes: I’ve found that I really enjoy “slice of life” stories like Yotsubato and Azumanga Daioh. I just started reading Aria today and am enjoying it for it’s simplicity. I suggested Emma, Tokyo Is My [...]

Emma, vols. 4-7 By Kaoru Mori Rated Teen Plus CMX, $9.99 Emma started out slow in the first few volumes and really started getting interesting in volume 3. In the second half, the series escalates into a full-blown Victorian romance, complete with wild adventures, rapturous emotion, and the pageantry and snobbery of the English upper classes. At the same [...]
