Indonesian publisher Elex Media Komputindo revealed last week that it has licensed Umi Sakurai's A Man and His Cat (Oji-sama to Neko) manga, and will release it on the fourth week of January.
Square Enix Manga and Books is releasing the manga in North America. It describes the manga:
In the pet shop he calls home, a chubby, homely cat whiles away the hours listening to coos of delight from potential pet parents...but he knows it's not him they're fussing over. Even as his price drops with each passing day, no one spares the kitty a glance. Having all but given up on life, the feline dejectedly awaits his first birthday, when he'll officially be past his sell-by date. So when an older gentleman comes into the shop and wants to take him home, the kitten himself is most shocked of all! Will the man and the cat find what they're looking for...in each other?
Sakurai launched the manga in 2017, and Square Enix published the manga's fifth compiled book volume in June 2020. The manga is inspiring a live-action series that premiered on January 6.
