Where they are true they will give us truths which we half knew already. “None of us can fully escape this blindness, but we shall certainly increase it, and weaken our guard against it, if we read only modern books. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.” It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. “Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It’s just like your favorite cat videos: charming, adorable, and never boring no matter how many times you read it! The story is also perfectly appropriate for younger fans and is sure to become a fast favorite of cat-lovers everywhere. In short it’s adorable.Įvery manga-reading cat-lover should pick up this series. It’s not overly detailed and the character designs oddly enough look like they belong in a manga from 1998, not 2008 but, all of the kitties are lively rendered and, much like human characters, will switch into a chibi form when the humor requires it. A large part of this is thanks to Natsumi Hoshino’s art. There were a few stories that were unlikely enough to make me roll my eyes, like the time Plum sneakily follows Taku to school, but by and large I was thoroughly charmed by her stories. It’s not nearly enough to break the suspension of disbelief because let’s be honest, who hasn’t ascribed human emotions and motivations to their pets before? Plum does have some anthropomorphic traits, but they’re just mostly expressed through human-like body language and actions. Not that Plum says so in so many words - Plum is a plain old speechless kitty - but her owners (high-schooler Taku and his mother) seem to be able to perfectly read her mind and narrate for the reader just what Plum is thinking.
Plum is a sweetly adorable cat and, while a bit mischievous on her own (like all cats are), Plum is feeling sorely put-upon lately by her new sibling. Plum Crazy! is a charming manga for both fans of slice of life stories and animal-lovers alike. Plum isn’t a very crazy kitty, but the new kitten she’s brought home is! Plum found Snowball shivering and alone outside and, in a magnanimous gesture, brought Snowball home to her family - but they might love Snowball more than her! Life has gotten a lot crazier for Plum with this new intruder around, but maybe she can remain top cat after all?
