I found this one just as amusing and cute as the others, maybe a little better in the storyline. Riko buys a new videogame and is eager to play it straight through to the end in as few days as possible. So she whittles her schedule down to bare essentials, cutting time wherever she can- especially with sleep. She had forgotten to reckon with Musubi though, who runs around the house at night and then steps on her head super early in the morning, disrupting her plan. Riko goes through her first experience trimming the cat&#8217;s claws, and then becomes convinced she needs to bathe him. Both experiences go differently than she&#8217;d expected! The cat&#8217;s viewpoint on his nail trimming was funny. Musubi looses his favorite ball behind furniture, which sends Riko on a search through the apartment for <em>all<\/em> the missing toys. (And then he immediately whacks it back into an inaccessible corner again). More gaming time. One scene made me chuckle: Riko is conversing with her fellow gamers in a chat, and Musubi walks across the keyboard, changing her message. Isn&#8217;t that exactly like a cat. Riko gets sick and stays in bed all day- playing video games, of course. (One that looks just like Minecraft, but of course has a different name). She has a weird dream where Musubi joins her in the game. Later, recovered and out shopping, she spies a new product- traditional style hat for cats. Even though she&#8217;s learned that cats don&#8217;t need, and usually don&#8217;t <em>like<\/em>, clothes, it&#8217;s too cute to pass up. She tries to get photos of Musubi in the hat, but he protests repeatedly. The final episode in the book is about a new toy Riko gets for her cat- a &#8220;kicking bear&#8221; the cat can grapple with on the floor. He goes at it so enthusiastically that the thing is soon torn. She attempts to sew it back up, with lamentable results. The cat&#8217;s viewpoint on this bit was funny, too. Throughout the whole narrative, Riko relates to everything by applying her gamer terms. I think it fit better in this volume, at least, I enjoyed it more for some reason.<\/p>\n<p>Borrowed from the public library. I&#8217;m disappointed I can&#8217;t read the rest of these- the series has at least eight volumes, but their collection stops here. (I&#8217;m going to ask if they&#8217;ll acquire the rest. I like them, but not quite enough to want to buy the set).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Third in this cat manga series.
