Cat + Crazy Volume 1

I quite enjoyed Wataru Nadatani’s Cat + Gamer series, with its lessons about cat behavior, so I thought I’d try Cat + Crazy volume 1, by the same author.

The title is accurate. Several of the characters in this manga are really out there. So much so that I don’t think I’ll be continuing with the series. They’re just too wacky. (This six-volume series came out before Cat + Gamer‘s eight volumes.)

Yamada is a normal schoolgirl. She’s been wondering about Fuji, a fellow student who is completely crazy about cats. He can’t have one, as the rest of his family is allergic, so he observes — and keeps notes — on stray cats in their neighborhood.

Then they meet a kind of cat guru. He looks like a refugee from Dragonball Z and has developed nekendo, the “cat fist way” of fighting. Fuji wants to apprentice with him in order to learn how to make the strays let him pet them. The cat whisperer lets him after seeing him save a stray from an attack.

That’s all in chapter one. It goes on from there, but I bailed. The cats are well-drawn, but the main characters are too weird for me.
