犬派の怪奇漫画作家　こねこにオチる

A punch line for Koneko, a horror comic writer in the dog group

This review contains spoilers. 犬派の大御所怪奇漫画家が、婚約者と新居で甘い生活を始めた。しかし、妻は実家から「呪い顔とドクロ模様」の愛猫を連れてくる。そして新たに保護猫の子猫をそれに先立ちお家にお迎えした。その子猫を母や婚約者と見た途端、作者はハアハアと喘ぎはじめ、ついに、「俺にも抱かせろー」と取り上げ、顔を吸い、抱きしめ、頬擦り、床をゴロゴロと狂態をさらけだす。さあ楽しく悩ましい猫ズとの新生活が始まった。もう作者も、婚約者さんも、猫ちゃんも可愛くて、しんしんとろりと癒されました。

This review contains spoilers. A mogul horror manga artist from the dog school has begun a sweet life with her fiancé in her new home. However, my wife brings a beloved cat with a “curse face and skull pattern” from her parents' house. A kitten, a new protective cat, was welcomed into the house prior to that. As soon as she sees that kitten with her mother or fiancé, the author starts panting hahaha, and finally picks up “let me hold it too,” sucks her face, hugs her, rubs her cheeks, and purrs on the floor, and begins to reveal her insanity. Now my new life with the fun and troublesome cats has begun. The author, fiancee, and cat were so cute, and I was so healed.

最高でした！猫好き必見の作品！！

It was awesome! A must-see work for cat lovers!

ホラー要素を残した猫ギャグ漫画。話は笑えるけど絵はホラー系で最高でした！！ただの猫漫画よりひねりがあって良かった！！伊藤潤二作品の中でも指折りなお気に入り作品となりました！二匹とも可愛くて読めて良かった！！続刊希望です！！

A cat gag comic with horror elements. The story is funny, but the picture was horror and awesome!! I'm glad it had more twists than just cat comics!! It became one of my favorite works by Junji Ito! They are both cute and I'm glad I read them!! I hope it will be published again!!

素晴らしい猫エッセイ漫画?

Great cat essay comics?

猫飼いあるあるの共感と、ホラーの雰囲気を残しつつ繊細で優しい漫画でした！先生猫にめっちゃハマってるのにツンデレですかぁ！？ってそのギャップもまた楽しい要素になっていますね?読んでいると、よんのブチ模様がドクロに見えてきますw

It was a delicate and gentle comic while retaining the sympathy of the cat owner Aru Aru! Sensei is really addicted to cats, but it's a tsundere!? That gap is also a fun factor, isn't it? When I'm reading it, the devil pattern looks like a skull lol

ホラー漫画家の愛猫記

Horror manga artist's love cat chronicle

This review contains spoilers. 恐怖的な雰囲気が漂う怖くない愛猫記です。思うように懐いてもらえず奮闘されています。猫好きの方におすすめしたいです。

This review contains spoilers. This is A Scary Cat Chronicle with a scary atmosphere. They are struggling because they are not fond of it as they would like. I would recommend it to cat lovers.

まさかホラー以外も描いてたとは！

I had no idea they were drawing anything other than horror!

過去に先生の作品をいくつか読んではいたのですがまさかこんなほのぼのオモロすぎ猫漫画描いてたなんて?ホラーっぽいのに全然ホラーじゃないし久々に声出して笑わせていただきました。

I've read some of the teacher's works in the past, but I can't believe he drew cat comics that are so heartwarming and funny? Even though it's horror-like, it's not horror at all, and it made me laugh out loud for the first time in a while.

絵が丁寧で上手〜

The pictures are careful and skillful~

大好きなマンガ。原画展を見に行ったらよんむーちゃんたちの原画があまり展示されてなくて残念でした、もっと多くの方によんむーちゃん見てほしい、奥さまの白目も。

My favorite manga. When I went to see the original picture exhibition, it was a pity that not many of Yonmu-chan's original paintings were on display, and I want more people to see Yonmu-chan, and the wife's white eyes too.

可愛すぎて呪われる～(=^ェ^=)

Too cute and cursed ~ (=^ye^=)

ホラー漫画で有名な伊藤潤二先生の猫エッセイ。描き方はホラーテイストなのに、中身は全然ホラーじゃない。これはめちゃくちゃ面白いです。よん＆むーどっちも個性的で可愛い！猫ちゃんって可愛いのは言うまでもなく、お顔や被毛の柄も(特に雑種は)一人一人特徴があるので見ていて飽きないです。なので自分ちの猫たちはもちろん、よそのお家の猫ちゃん見るのもすごく好き。犬派なのに！と断言しつつも、子猫を前にすればその可愛さの呪いにかかって精神崩壊してしまう。そしていつのまにか猫派に改宗させられ、彼らの下僕と化してしまうのだ。それはもはや定番の流れなのであろうか…(笑)。お迎えしたばかりのちっちゃいむーに陥落させられた伊藤先生に爆笑でした！

A cat essay by Mr. Junji Ito, famous for his horror comics. The way I draw is horror-like, but what's inside isn't horror at all. This is insanely interesting. Both Yon & Mu are unique and cute! Needless to say, cats are cute, and their faces and coat patterns (especially hybrid breeds) have their own characteristics, so I never get tired of watching them. So I really like watching not only my own cats, but also cats from other houses. Even though they are dog lovers! While asserting that, if you put a kitten in front of you, you will fall under the curse of its cuteness and your mind will collapse. Then, before I knew it, I was converted to the cat faction, and I became their servant. I wonder if that's already a staple trend... (laughs). I burst out laughing at Mr. Ito, who had just been picked up by the little girl who had just picked him up!

I can't believe you can watch not only horror comics, but also stories about cats that are buying them! Yontomoo was too cute! It was a story where there was so much love in it when they did it like it was bittersweet!!! the best!!

唯一無二！ホラー猫日記

one and only! horror cat diary

先生のファンです。たまらなく面白いですよ〜ほのぼの猫日記なのに絵が超絶ホラーですよ〜。猫に対する伊藤先生の不器用な溺愛ぶりには哀愁漂いすぎてて背筋が凍ります。ホラー猫がとっても可愛い！先生ほんとに絵がお上手。奥さまの白目の向こうには猫と先生に対する愛情たっぷり感じます。よん＆むーのカラーフォトギャラリー有、呪猫よんの背中に注目！続編わたしも心から願ってます。

I'm a fan of the teacher. It's irresistibly interesting ~ even though it's a heartwarming cat diary, the pictures are transcendental horror. There is so much melancholy about Ito sensei's clumsy doting on cats that it makes my spine freeze. Horror cats are so cute! The teacher is really good at drawing. I feel a lot of love for cats and teachers on the other side of my wife's white eyes. There is a color photo gallery by Yon & Mu, pay attention to the curse cat Yon! I also sincerely hope for a sequel.

星5じゃ足りない！！星100付けたい…！

5 stars is not enough! I want to give it 100 stars...!!

購入してから1日1回読んでます。伊藤潤二先生も猫も好きな人はオススメです。私はどちらも大好きなので最高でした。猫の描き方が伊藤先生独特でとてもかっこよく可愛いです。猫あるあるもあり、我が家の猫との共通点を考えるのも楽しかったです。猫だけではなく奥様への愛も溢れておりほっこりします。書き込みをもっと見たいので紙の方でも購入したいと思います。続編があるといいなぁ…。

I've been reading it once a day since I bought it. I recommend Junji Ito and people who like cats. I love them both so it was great. Ito sensei's way of drawing cats is unique and very cool and cute. There are cats and there are, and it was fun to think about what they have in common with our cats. Love not only for cats but also for his wife is overflowing and makes me feel relaxed. I want to see more of the writing, so I'd like to buy the paper one too. I hope there's a sequel...

猫とホラー漫画家

Cat and horror cartoonist

かわいい？こわい？ホラー漫画家視点で描かれる猫達！そんなに怖くないから伊藤潤二先生の作品が怖くて読めなくても大丈夫かもしれない…。

cute? scared? Cats drawn from a horror cartoonist's point of view! It's not that scary, so maybe it's okay if Junji Ito's works are too scary to read...

絵はホラーだがほっこりニヤニヤ

The picture is horror, but I'm relieved and smirked

伊藤潤二先生の持つ独特のユーモアが随所に散りばめられていて、ニヤニヤしながら楽しく読みました。絵はホラーなのに、よんもむーも無茶苦茶可愛い。作者の愛情が伝わってきます。よんとむーの写真や伊藤先生へのQAのページがあるのも楽しかったです。続きを読みたいです！

Ito Junji sensei's unique humor was scattered everywhere, and I enjoyed reading it while smirking. Even though the picture is horror, Yonmo Mu is ridiculously cute. The author's love is conveyed. It was also fun to have Yontomoo's photos and a QA page for Ito sensei. I want to read more!

先生の猫愛がすごい！

The teacher's love for cats is amazing!

This review contains spoilers. 猫大好きですが、猫をかわいく描きすぎる、猫好きに媚びたような漫画は少し苦手でした。そんな時に出会ったのがこの作品。ギャグ、猫あるある、癒されるシーンなどとてもバランスが良くて楽しめます。特にむーの豹変、奥様の猫じゃらし芸は大爆笑でした！

This review contains spoilers. I love cats, but I was a little bad at comics that drew cats too cute and were flattering to cat lovers. That's when I came across this work. Gags, cats, and soothing scenes are very well-balanced and you can enjoy it. In particular, Mu's Sudden Change and his wife's cat jarring performance burst out laughing!

普通の猫漫画とは一味違う作品

A work that is a bit different from normal cat comics

他の猫漫画には無い視点で描かれていて、でも、猫あるある万歳ですごく面白かったです。　猫ちゃんの泣き声もリアル。

It was drawn from a point of view not found in other cat comics, but it was really interesting to have a cat a long time. The cat's cry is real too.

猫も先生も面白すぎます。

Both the cat and the teacher are too funny.

This review contains spoilers. 猫じゃらしのお話や、徹夜明けでよんが色々なものに見えるのが面白かったです。大げさかと思いきや、よんの写真もあってそっくりなので驚きました。猫が特別好きではなくとも、おススメの笑える1冊です。

This review contains spoilers. It was interesting to see the story of Neko Jarashi and staying up all night in a variety of things. I thought it was an exaggeration, but I was surprised that there was also a picture of Yon and it looked exactly like it. Even if you don't particularly like cats, I recommend this funny book.
