![]() While the Yamadas struggles to communicate with Chi will ring very true to anyone who has ever had a cat (or knows someone who does), the animators know when to stop being real and have a little fun. Overall, the series has a very deft touch when it comes to realism. Instead of seeming like a totally fabricated cartoon character, by the end of the series you practically think of her as your own cat. This design choice, along with the inclusion of some of the less pleasant realities of cat ownership including hair balls, scratching up the furniture, and struggles with the litter box keep the series from ever being too cutesy, but strangely, ultimately make Chi even more lovable. As you might expect, Chi herself is adorable, but the creators wisely resisted the urge to make her too cute instead of looking like Hello Kitty, she often resembles a real cat, especially when she's angry and baring her tiny teeth. The story focuses on Chi's development from a naive, helpless lost kitten to a beloved member of the Yamada family. Chronicling the fairly realistic adventures of an adorable little kitten and the family that adopts her, Chi's Sweet Home accomplishes what most series consisting of short episodes don't: it maintains an engaging narrative while still taking advantage of the lightness of the format. Sometimes good things come in small packages, and sometimes great anime comes in little three-minute bursts. Chi steals a lot of the show with how adorable she is, so any reader should automatically go "Awww!" There hasnít been as much similar feline character releases, to read about, but either Animal Land, Aria or Ramen Neko might just be other feline or animal friendly reading experience. Chi has two seasons of anime that was adapted from the manga. As this review is written, there has been up to nine ongoing volumes released in Japanese, and the English edition catches up. ![]() Vertical acknowledging the popularity of the series created a portal at that has extras only available with the Japanese edition. Any reader picking up this book doesnít have to own a cat to experience how a cat owner can relate to actions or situations that Chi has.Ĭhi's Sweet Home is done entirely in color identical to its Japanese counterpart. The series is still pet friendly as there are humorous situations with Chi interacting with animals and pets of other species. It is a bit silly, but only cat speech is translated, so this may put dog lovers in the dark here. This series is a slice of life tale spoken from the perspective of a cat. ![]() Life becomes an enjoyable challenge for both Chi and her human family, as they adjust to living one another in episodic tidbits. ![]() Early in the story, she becomes separated from her mom, and subsequently adopted by the Yamadas. Cats are curious creatures by nature, and Chi being the way she is, makes for a wonderful feline protagonist. Our hearts certainly have been utterly stolen by Chi from Chi's Sweet Home. Cats may not be said as manís best friend, but they are fantastic in their own way. ![]()
