The New York Times bestselling cartoonist Konami Kanata returns with another delightful collection of all-ages cat comics that feature the feline superstar FukuFuku.
A stray kitten, FukuFuku has been adopted into the home of a widowed grandmother, and the two develop a close relationship—all told from the kitten’s point of view. Related in eighteen scenarios as a flashback to the kittenhood days of the now-adult FukuFuku, these vignettes will charm readers young and old as they watch this fun-loving, trouble-making feline grow into a lazy and almost cynical pet, but one that expresses its love and devotion as only a pampered house cat can.
Story Locale: Nagano, Japan

THE LATEST FROM KONAMI KANATA: Konami Kanata was a breakthrough star when her title Chi’s Sweet Home hit US shores. FukuFuku is her flagship work, a series that has been running continually in Japan since 1988, and even made a brief appearance in Chi volume 2. Now Konami’s first feline love is coming to English and readers, stores, libraries and cat fanciers cannot be more excited!
FUN FOR ALL AGES: FukuFuku was made for readers young and old. Printed in western format this manga is intended to be read by anyone, regardless of their familiarity to manga or Japanese culture. All that is required is a love for cuteness, some time to read and a heart that beats for kitty fun! It is a meticulously researched and very thoughtful comic that can be universally enjoyed.
A NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER: Konami Kanata is a multiple NY Times Best-Seller for her work on another cat comic, Chi’s Sweet Home. FukuFuku is literally Japan’s answer Garfield. A she is a charming furry character with full of curiousity and warmth, destined to win readers’ hearts for generations to come.
AFFORDABLE FORMAT: While Chi’s Sweet Home was in full color and $14 for that reason, FukuFuku will be in black and white and priced similarly to traditional manga.
