Didn't think I would like a cat story this much.
Yuki (the cat) is surviving in the zombie apocalypse. It meets multiple people along the way, bringing them hope in these horrid times. Due to unfortunate circumstances that not does always mean death, Yuki get separated and someone else ends up helping it. I miss each person Yuki comes across and hoped they actually get to stay together.
Wasn't thinking I was going to like it.
Sucks to suck because I ended up really enjoying it. This story may not be everyone's cup of tea. The beginning, I feel, doesn't hook you in right away. It takes a little longer to get invested in the story and the main protagonist.
Mildly sad and sweet ending.
The message of the story, the art, the composition, all of it was incredibly done. I could heavily relate to the main character where he can't do anything and thinks he isn't enough. When his teacher arrives to the afterlife and asks our main character to escort him, the story turns to hopeful light. Sometimes you just need to meet the right people who will change your life, even if they can't stay for long.
A man and his dying wife.
This is a very real depiction of the thoughts of a terminally ill lover and their partner. Both of their thoughts are human, almost raw and genuine to what someone may think, feel, and act during these trying times.
Based on real life.
If you're part of the LGBTQ+ community, then this story will hit you like a truck. It shows the experience of the author finding his husband and the struggle a person in this community may/have faced. I showed this to my friend who had struggled with similar issues as the author, and she just wept as she continued to read.
Criminal turned hero.
Short and bittersweet. Mr. Bunny is a wanted criminal working as a mascot character. When his workplace was being robbed and guns men were holding people hostage, he finds two children. The end left me wanting more, though I believe where it ended was perfect for this one shot.
Always going to be a fan of Fujimoto's storytelling and art.
Themes of suicide and abuse.
I had to reflect on my own relationships after reading this story. The connection between the two girls is something I have always craved. To have a bond that close. To take something for granted until it's gone. It made me cherish the times we did get to spend together and pray you don't have to meet me soon.
