Product Information
From the Publisher
Written from 1904 through 1906, Sōseki's Natsume's comic masterpiece, I Am a Cat, satirizes the foolishness of upper-middle-class Japanese society during the Meiji era. With acerbic wit and sardonic perspective, it follows the whimsical adventures of a world-weary stray kitten who comments on the follies and foibles of the people around him.
Translated by Zack Davisson and illustrated by Chiroru Kobato, I Am a Cat: Manga Edition offers fans a new visual experience of this classic Japanese novel.
