Jouji Nakata Brings the Charm to Old Man and Cat Manga Promo

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.

Nakata shared a picture on Twitter of a colored shikishi Sakura presented to him for his work on the commercial.

Oji-sama to Neko is not currently available in English. Cats remain a popular topic in manga, however. You can find your favorite feline in Dōkyonin wa Hiza, Tokidoki, Atama no Ue, Nekogahara: Stray Cat Samurai, She and Her Cat, Chi's Sweet Home, or Junji Ito's Cat Diary: Yon & Mu.
