'Our Parakeets Are Chattering Again Today'

Author: PitchPotch (Pichipochi)

Price: ¥1,400 + tax, ISBN: 978-4-8137-9617-6

[Synopsis] Living with Koza-kura parakeet Pitch and Button parakeet Pochi. Imagining their conversations, I quietly watch over them once again today. This full-color comic essay delivers heartwarming, lighthearted moments from the adorable daily lives of my birds. I first met Pitch and Pochi at a pet shop, where by sheer coincidence they shared the same birthday and were housed in the same enclosure. I adopted them both, and before I knew it, ten years had passed. Pitch is calm and laid-back, yet secretly a queen-type personality. Pochi is an affectionate, curious soul with a slightly difficult side. Surrounded by these two birds, mutually inspiring and growing together, I've found myself deeply comforted by their interactions. A heartwarming slice-of-life comic essay about life with parakeets.

[Second volume of the hit series, long-awaited and repeatedly reprinted!]

'Kuroneko Cafe at 3 AM, Vol. 2'

Author: Nekomaki (Musework)

[Synopsis] A heartwarming story combining cats, gourmet food, and warmth by Nekomaki, author of 'Cats and the Old Man.' 'Black Cat' is an ordinary-looking café found in any town. By day, it's a typical café. But at midnight, it transforms into a café only cats can visit. The staff and customers are all cats, though occasionally a human wanders in. The humans who visit are all struggling with worries or personal issues. As they share tea and enjoy delicious dishes with the cats, their long-suppressed true feelings begin to surface... Visitors include those overwhelmed by endless to-do lists, people navigating menopause, and others struggling to express themselves honestly. Each chapter features appealing café menu items, along with simple recipes.
