This is an adorable book of cats traveling all over Japan! They start with booking and getting ready for the trip and then go through all the places they visit, foods they eat, etc. It's super cute.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for letting me review this book. This was a fun read about cats who go touring around Japan. I like how the meanings for various Japanese words are given. There were several dishes that I plan on looking up the recipes for. My favorite part was the cats in the various hats.

Very cute!
If you're looking for something wholesome and cute this is definitely the pick! The illustrations are adorable and it's very humorous!

Wow, this was an incredibly adorable and wholesome read. The illustrations are so cute and beautiful, this is an absolute must for all cat lovers!

Absolutely adorable! A great way to escape the world for a little bit too. The drawings are so cute I found myself just looking and imaging them acting out little lives.

I loved not knowing what I was going to see next - especially with the cats always being themselves, representing different things etc. I also didn’t find any of it to be repetitive - it all felt like its own beautiful page and I love that!

Highly recommend!

I am currently experiencing cuteness aggression from this book! The Mofusand Cats are rising in popularity in the united states, and this book is a great way for young readers to experience these cats, their characters, and this artwork. The illustrations are sophisticated but also playful and great for a young audience. There is also a lot of references to Japanese culture in this book, making it a great book to help with Japan related lessons and programs. I see that the is a fun book for elementary age to maybe 5th or 6th grade? Great for those who love cute illustrations, cats, and fun!

Thank you to the author and NetGalley for giving me a review copy.

I saw a review of this book on bluesky and I knew that I absolutely had to read it. I wasn't sure what to expect exactly in terms of text/illustration balance and it is mostly illustration based. The illustrations are stunning! The cats are so adorable and this really brightened my mood. I cried reading this from how cute the cats are!!!!

I don't know what to say about this... the artwork is cute. Story Plot was
simple and there were so many cute kittens! I like it just for all those
adorbs cats!

I saw this featured in the catalog and could not believe my eyes. This has to be the cutest book I've ever read, no exaggeration. I can't say that I was familiar with Mofusand before reading this comic, but I'm a bonafide fangirl upon completion. This illustration book featured the sweetest cats in various stages of traveling. From packing to airplane rides to sightseeing, Mofusand covered it all. This book didn't require much dialogue because the pictures spoke for themselves. I was in cuteness overload and kitty cat heaven to boot. I loved this book and hope to read many more adventures about Mofusand.

If you like seeing illustrated cats wearing silly costumes, this book is for you. If you're trying to find reasons to plan a trip to Japan, this book is also for you. If you're trying to justify another trip to Japan outside of Tokyo, Osaka, or Kyoto, this could also be useful for you. Heck, if you started to feel bad about how much PTO you have saved up... maybe that's just me. This is cute and surprisingly informative.

It's cool to see a travel slash guide book to Japanese culture in a form of art book, featuring cats on top of it! It's a refreshing idea and i just can't stop smiling throughout the book seeing different cats in different poses and fits, acting naturally like tourist just like us human. My personal fav chapter would be the Regional Cats. I only hoped they would made the 'plot' slightly better and deeper instead of just go for it on surface level so that it could be artistic, entertaining, and informative read at the same time. Overall, enjoyable read!

This is absolutely the cutest book ever. Cats are my favorite animal (I own 4 haha) and to see them in these adorable illustrations at the beach, at the park, in costumes and more was cuteness overload. This book is perfect for those who want to learn about the culture of Japan but with cats instead, I am absolutely gonna buy this book just to have as a coffee table book for when I need a pick me up of cute cats (because you could never have too much).

Cuteness Overloaded!!

This comic is so cute! It features adorable illustrations of cats travelling to aquariums, amusement parks, and beaches and enjoying different activities. These cats explore different places in Japan, enjoying food, and buying souvenirs. I liked the short descriptions of what cats are wearing and the foods.

I loved reading this comic and binge-reading it in one sitting. The illustrations are beautiful and full of colour.

Mofusand is an absolute delight! The cute illustrations capture adorable cats embarking on charming adventures, offering a heartwarming way to explore Japanese culture and cuisine. Each cat is dressed in themed outfits or enjoying iconic dishes from different prefectures. Whether you're a fan of all things kawaii, or a cat lover, this collection is sure to bring joy.

The illustrations in this book were so cute. I really enjoyed the educational piece but wish the text had a bit more structure. I am so excited to buy this for friends once it is published as it really sparks joy in the reader.

Netgalley ARC-
This was incredibly sweet, adorable, wholesome. Impossible not to grin while reading. If you like cats you will like these cute illustrations.

To say I loved this is a massive understatement. This was exactly what I hoped for from just glancing through the synopsis and admiring the cover art. It was such a cute, whimsical, easy read. A huge stress reliever. Thank you to the publisher and to NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest opinion!

I was about to buy the Mofusand hippers for my love addiction of cats while checking my NetGalley and viola! I got this illustration book from NetGalley (thank you so much as well as to Udon Entertainment for the ARC).

This book is so adorable and educational but please DO NOT expect about the a storytelling one for this. This illustration book is accompanied by short text helping you to learn about Japan and its culture and even cuisine.

A. Art Style & Visual Appeal
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐: Stunning, immersive, and elevates the storytelling experience.

B. Storytelling & Narrative
⭐⭐: Some potential, but weak execution or pacing issues.

C. Characters & Dialogue
⭐: Flat, one-dimensional characters with weak dialogue.

D. Emotional Impact
⭐⭐: Some moments of engagement, but overall weak.

E. Pacing & Panel Flow
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐: Masterfully paced, making excellent use of the graphic novel format.

I would highly recommend it to Mofusand fans and someone who is looking for an art inspiration to look at.

Cuteness overload! This was the most adorable collection of illustrations / loose stories about traveling cats. There’s cat illustrations with a sentence or two on each page as they travel around Japan, going to an aquarium, a penguin cafe, the beach, eating lots of food and even going to the sauna. There are adorable “mofustagram” posts at the end of each chapter.

On top of being a cute little book, it’s also quite educational - there are cats eating several Japanese dishes, a few pages of regional cats (dressed up in different costumes, sort of Sonny Angel style) - all highlighting different aspects of Japan and Japanese culture.

This is more of an art book than a graphic novel or manga. If you like the cover and style of illustration, I highly recommend picking it up. I would frame so many of these adorable illustrations.

Thank you to the publisher for a copy for review.

A fascinating short and sweet read! The art was adorable through and through and it gave lovely advice and recommendations!!
