The Masterful Cat Is Depressed Again, Today Volume 2: 08/24/23

The Masterful Cat Is Depressed Again, Today, Volume 2 by Hitsuji Yamada (2019) continues to explore the relationship between Saku and her oversized cat, Yukichi. The two also spend more time with Saku's boss's niece, Yume-chan.

This is one of those stories where there's a huge weird thing — in this case, Yukichi — and Saku remains convinced that she has to keep him a secret. It's also becoming abundamtly clear that Yukichi isn't the big secret that Saku thinks. Nor does anyone else in the neighborhood seem to care that he's a human sized cat.

As Saku begins to realize that others know of Yukichi's existence, she also begins to glean details of legends of other extraordinary cats. I'm curious to see how Yukichi's story is expanded in future volumes.
