Written with biting wit and sardonic perspective, it follows the whimsical adventures of a rather cynical stray kitten. He finds his way into the home of an English teacher, where his running commentary on the follies and foibles of the people around him has been making readers laugh for more than a century. This is the very first manga edition in English of this classic piece of Japanese literature. The story lends itself well to a graphic novel format, allowing readers to pick up on the more subtle cues of the expressive cat, while also being immersed in the world of his perceptive narration. 521 8 GN400L|bLexile 521 3 Decoding demand: 97 (very high)|aSemantic demand: 100 (very high)|aSyntactic demand: 62 (high)|aStructure demand : 89 (very high)|bLexile 650 0 Cats|zJapan|vComic books, strips, etc. 650 0 English teachers|zJapan|zTokyo|vComic books, strips, etc. 650 0 Humorous stories|vComic books, strips, etc. 650 0 Comic books, strips, etc. 655 7 Graphic novels.|2lcgft 700 1 Kobato, Chiroru,|eauthor,|eartist. 700 1 Davisson, Zack,|etranslator. 730 0 Wagahai wa neko de aru.|lEnglish.
