posted on by Lynzee Loveridge
Oji-sama to Neko (Old Man and Cat) manga by Umi Sakurai has charm by the bucketful. The story follows the day-to-day life of an elderly man who adopts a fat kitty that no one else wanted. The manga garnered recognition at this year's Tsugi ni Kuru Manga Awards as a runner-up for best web manga. The manga is serialized on pixiv and the second compiled volume was released on November 22.
Voice actor Jouji Nakata stepped into the role of Oji-san in a promotional video for the second volume. Sakurai shared the video on her Twitter account.
