You won’t want to miss the thrilling post-apocalyptic saga that is ‘Night of the Living Cat’ (also written as ‘Nyaight of the Living Cat’). Hawkman and Mecha-Roots brought this manga to life back in October 2020, and it’s been making waves ever since. Now, as we eagerly await the 2025 TV anime adaptation, the excitement is palpable.
Diving into the pages of Mag Garden’s Comic Garden, readers are taken on a gripping journey through a world turned upside down.
‘Night of the Living Cat’ isn’t your average manga – it intricately weaves together elements of suspense, humor, and heart, creating a narrative tapestry that keeps fans hooked. The vivid illustrations bring to life a post-apocalyptic landscape where feline protagonists navigate the challenges of their new reality. From unexpected alliances to daring escapades, the storytelling transcends the conventional boundaries of the genre.
Seven Seas Entertainment is bringing the manga to English readers and describes it as:
‘A virus spreads across the world, transforming all humankind into wild, slavering, furry beasts: cats, to be precise. Those few survivors who remain human take refuge in the dark corners of the earth as they fight back against the feline horde. Kunagi, a man with no memory of his past yet a deep knowledge of cats, struggles to hold on with only his wits and a will to survive. Yet the virus transmits merely through cuddles, and Kunagi finds kitties so hard to resist! Is his willpower strong enough to withstand this hair-raising cat-tastrophe?’
As we immerse ourselves in the manga’s rich narrative, each chapter unfolds like a cinematic experience, painting a vivid picture of a society grappling with the aftermath of a cataclysmic event. The characters, both human and feline, are brought to life with depth and nuance, making them more than just players in a story – they become companions on this tumultuous journey. With the fifth compiled volume hitting the shelves on that serendipitous February 22, readers can expect even more twists and turns in the tale. Seven Seas Entertainment continues to fuel the anticipation, gearing up for the release of the fourth volume on June 11.
If the manga’s anything to go by, get ready for a rollercoaster of emotions and post-apocalyptic cat chaos when the anime hits our screens! And for a sneak peek, head over to the official website, where a tantalizing teaser trailer awaits. The countdown to 2025 has never felt more exciting!
