Volume 5 of A Man and His Cat continues the touching story of Mr. Kanda, a widowed music teacher, and his unlikely companion, Fukumaru, a big round cat that no one wanted until Kanda gave him a home. What makes this series so engaging is how it blends humor, everyday life, and genuine emotion. In this volume, we see more of Kanda’s backstory, his struggles with loneliness, and how Fukumaru helps him open up again. At the same time, there are plenty of laugh-out-loud moments thanks to Fukumaru’s dramatic expressions and quirky cat behavior.
The manga works on two levels: it’s a lighthearted comedy about a spoiled cat and his devoted owner, and it’s also a quiet meditation on grief, healing, and finding happiness in small things. The art captures both sides perfectly—funny, exaggerated faces one moment and tender, intimate scenes the next.
This book is a great pick for cat lovers, of course, but it’s also for anyone who enjoys gentle slice-of-life stories that carry emotional weight. Whether you’ve read the earlier volumes or are just discovering the series, Volume 5 delivers warmth, charm, and a reminder of how powerful companionship can be.
