Have you ever thought to yourself, "Gee, I wonder what it would be like to be a little kitten"? Well, wonder no more. Chi's Sweet Home gives us an up-close look at the life of an adorable kitten named Chi (not to be confused with the girl from the hit manga Chobits), following her throughout her everyday life. And the funny thing is, you always know what Chi is thinking (or saying) when she meows, which really got me to thinking, "Is this how most cats think in this situation?" Who knows?Everybody thinks the life of a pet is tedious, simple and repetitive. Well, not this cat! Chi leads the reader through the life of a cat one short story after another. Chi has all kinds of adventures in her home and in her neighborhood, whether she is alone or together with her best friend, Cocchi, a male cat with an arrogant personality. Whether it's something as simple as looking for attention from her family or looking for something to do around town, Chi is always having fun. They say cats have nine lives, but I would say Chi doesn't need them - all she needs is one, because no matter how many close calls she ends up in, cats always land on their feet, both literally and metaphorically.Konami Kanata all-color manga is a must-read for all cat-lovers. The use of watercolor is a breath of fresh air to anyone who has been immersed on black & white manga for years. This is definitely a manga that will be loved by both children and their parents, thanks to super-cute Chi!Reviewed by David Gromer
Chi books are fun for the whole family! Wholesome story. Cute kitty. Memorable characters. We had trouble getting my daughter interested in reading. She will pick up a Chi's sweet home book for fun! Great Series! Of course we all have to read them, because we all love the books and the characters.
This is the eighth volume in the Chiâs Sweet Home series. Right now there are ten volumes in this series. If you have enjoyed the previous books I think you will enjoy this one as well. It is full of kitty humor and cuteness just like all of the previous books have been.When Chi sees Yohey playing with his friends she decides to go out and track the the other kitten friend she has, Cocchi. Chi and Cocchi get into lots of trouble in this book. Chi finds out first hand how cats always land on their feet and Cocchi introduces Chi into making trouble in a shed. Chiâs adventures outside lead her to develop conjunctivitis which introduces Chi to the beloved Elizabethan Collar (wow do cats ever love thoseâ¦).I am going to be honest and say that while I still enjoy these books they are starting to loose some novelty for me. They have been somewhat less funny as Chi grows up and has to deal with real world issues (at least for a cat). Some of that might be because I have read them all back to back in a fairly short period of time. My seven year old son however, still adores these books and loves reading them a lot.There are still some very funny things that happen in this book and I still really enjoy the lovely pastel illustrations. Chi is cute and I love watching her and Cocchi getting into trouble around the neighborhood. We see a lot less of her interaction with the Yamada family in this book and I kind of missed that.It is kind of nice watching how both Chi and Yohey have changed as they get older.Overall this was an entertaining installment in this series. I continue to enjoy Chi and her antics, although I found this book to be less funny than previous ones. My seven year old son still adores this series. I would recommend this manga series to those who enjoy cats and humor.
My younger two kids a boy who is 12 and a girl who is 10 both love Chi's Sweet Home books. They have read them over and over and my daughter chose it for her book club at school this month. These are graphic novels but as long as my kids are reading I am perfectly fine with it.
The books are in full color and the chapters are kept short, so it's like reading the weekend comics from the newspaper! The only thing I didn't like was that the book was 'flopped', meaning it's been reprinted from it's right to left format (Japanese) to a left to right one (English). It however, doesn't bother me enough that I wouldn't buy the next volume!
I think that this book in the series is definitely the climax of the entire series. Lots of things happen in this book so it is hard to explain everything that is going on in this book of the 'Chi' series.This book is definitely heart-warming, yet most emotional and interesting book. It all started off on book 1 when Chi loses his/her mother and family. Then Chi gets found by a Japanese family. And the story goes on until now. Each book in the series shows how Chi survives living in the family.'Chi's Sweet Home' is definitely the best book I have read in the 'Chi' series. The book was in great condition. The plot doesn't fall and crumble into a boring plot. The plot stays up the whole time entertaining the reader for the whole time while the reader is reading the book.It is 88% guaranteed you will enjoy this book like I and the others do. I recommend starting from book 1 if you have never read any books of this series before.So, go ahead. Read this book. See for yourself and see what you think about it. I highly recommend the "Chi's Sweet Home" series. It is worth it. The point of this review is to make customers get this book. I hope that this review has been helpful to all of you customers!
