Riko, a twenty-nine-year-old office worker with an obsession for video games, finds her quiet life upended when she takes in a stray cat!
Her coworkers can’t quite figure her out—she never talks about her personal life, she never works overtime, and she never joins them for happy hour. Is she antisocial? Nope, she’s rushing home to play video games! One day, a stray cat is found in the office parking lot, and before Riko knows it, the cat has moved in with her! Having no experience with pets, Riko uses lessons drawn from video games to guide her in cat care, while her cute companion tries to understand her behavior through a cat's worldview.

3.5
Cute. Cat was very well done. Main character Riko at times a little one note or boxed, but still likable.
This was so cute and cozy! I love how the author captured cat reactions so perfectly
A very cute slice-of-life manga about the joys of having a feline friend in your life, filtered through the eyes of an obsessive gamer. Super charming and I want to cuddle that kitten:
3.5 gaming terms defined out of 5, rounded up because of Musubi's lil face. I am easy to sell to!
Vol. 1 ★★★★★
Vol. 2 ★★★★★
Oh my god, this was SO adorable and I loved it so much. All I needed to hear was that the series is about a gamer girl and her newly adopted kitten, and I was sold! Musubi the kitten is so precious and perfectly depicted, right down to his goofy little poses and movements, and it was so fun to see things through Riko's oblivious perspective as she tries to figure out his quirks and personality. I highly recommend this for anyone who enjoys cutesy slice-of-life manga and cats! ♥
(And if you can read it like I did with a cozy kitten sleeping on your feet, even better)
