First off I must say, this is the first manga I've ever read.  I like a lot of genres, so when this was recommended to me I gave it a shot. I must admit I was not expecting to like this style, as I'm not really into comics in general. Well I was pleasantly surprised! This was quite a good story.When I read novels I look for plot, character development, story arcs. ect. I never thought that a manga book could have all of that too! It is a cute story about a struggling awkward teenage girl, and how she learns to cope and deal with the strange events in her life.Of course we have to suspend belief as it has a fantasy angle with her cat turning human. But that is what makes it a fun story. I'm a middle aged adult with 3 kids, and I still followed and got the story.  I do think teenagers, awkward or not, will really identify with the main character Miyu.There is quite a bit of clean humor, especially with the dynamic relationship of Miyu teaching Ishi how to be human.  But nothing raunchy, or distasteful.  The same goes for the amazing art work. I have seen (not read) some that I wouldn't want my teenager reading.I can without a doubt recommend this to everyone, and anyone with teen age kids. Only thing to note, as others have mentioned, it is in the Japanese style in the way you read right to left/ back to front. It worried me at first, but it really isn't a big deal!
