comment |
Junji Ito's Cat Diary: Yon & Mu (It� Junji no Neko Nikki: Yon & Mū) is a manga by famous horror manga author Junji Ito. The manga was serialized in Monthly Magazine Z from 2008 to 2009, with its chapters compiled into a single volume.In stark contrast to his typical works, the series isn't horror, instead being an autobiographical slice-of-life piece detailing Ito's domestic life with his fiancée upon moving house and getting the titular cats.Not contrary to his usual works, however, is the art, which uses all of Ito's horrific trademarks... but for ridiculous effect, given the inappropriately harmless images they are applied to.It's that kind of manga. |

What Measure Is a Non-Cute?: J-kun initially wants nothing to do with Yon, who's not very cute, even disregarding his spookiness, but he gradually warms up to him. |

Lightmare Fuel: In essence, Ito parodies his own work by writing and drawing in the same style as his iconic horror fiction... except that it's an (almost) completely harmless story about him and his wife taking care of their cute kitties. |

Bittersweet Ending: A bonus comic included in the collected edition reveals that Yon-kun eventually died of heart failure, but J-kun treasures the time they had together, thanking Yon for being in his life. Ito's wife Ayako included a letter telling her side of the story, talking about Yon-kun's final days. Junji Ito later did a followup video with Crunchyroll, showing the two new cats that he adopted in Yon and Mu's memory. |

Four Is Death |
| | Junji Ito's Cat Diary: Yon & Mu (Manga) / int_471a505f |
comment |
Four Is Death: The cat with the death's head markings is known as "Yon," which is the Alternate Character Reading of the kanji for the number 4: "shi." This is just an incredible coincidence, as Yon is named as such not for having a skull-like marking on his back, but for being the fourth of A-ko's family cats. |

Iyashikei / Slice of Life: Aside from the spooky art style, this is really a comic about a Happily Engaged couple doting on their cats. One of the most dramatic incidents is when Yon runs away, which is resolved when he's found at the plumbers' warehouse, and the nice folks who work there help catch him. It's basically about nice people and cute cats. |

The Unreveal: Gorou, the skittish and elusive stray cat A-ko's parents adopted, is always drawn as a shadowy blob to represent J-kun's unfamiliarity with him. Despite J-kun's attempts to befriend him and then lamenting that he still hasn't gotten a good look at him in over a year, the reader never sees him drawn as an actual cat, remaining a shadow even when Mu plays with him. |

Defrosting Ice King: Yon starts off as standoffish towards J-kun, because the latter is overly playful and wanting cuddles. Then J-kun has to stay up late to work on a deadline, starting to hallucinate monsters whenever he sees Yon thanks to sleep deprivation. Without prompting, Yon leaps onto his lap, shows his belly, and suckles on J-kun's finger when the latter offers it. |

Toilet Humour: One of J-kun's associates buys him a plastic poop while visiting New York, which he uses to play a practical joke on A-ko. J-kun sees the poop again a few days later and, assuming A-ko was trying to get revenge on the joke, picks it up, only to find out it was cat vomit that was in the shape of poop. We're also treated to a lovely panel noting that Mu's long hair tends to get turds stuck in it. |

Happily Married: Despite the fact that J-kun wasn't keen to have a cat and A-to teases her fiancée about how he wants Yon's affections, they have healthy chemistry. It's shown they work as a team on house renovations. |

| | Junji Ito's Cat Diary: Yon & Mu (Manga) / int_c2e1f423 |
comment |
Really Dead Montage: Subverted, originally. Then played straight in the final strip in the collected edition where Junji Ito explains Yon's deteriorating health and finally his death due to heart failure. |

Irony: J-kun, who abhors the idea of having two cats, let alone the one with the spooky vibe, also gets insanely jealous when he doesn't appeal to them. |

Cloudcuckoolander: J-kun and A-ko. J-kun is utterly clueless about cats and is quick to jump to superstitious and illogical conclusions, while A-ko treats matters of cat care with reverence and pseudo-elitism. |

Lighter and Softer: In content, it's much lighter than most of his works, but in visual impact, it's only slightly less disturbing. |

Nightmare Face |
| | Junji Ito's Cat Diary: Yon & Mu (Manga) / int_cf48c17 |
comment |
Nightmare Face: A-ko, J-kun's wife: No irises, and ALWAYS smiling. Junji Ito notes in the "questions to the author" sections that his wife was irritated by this depiction. J-kun makes more extreme ones as exaggerated depictions of his distress. |

| | Junji Ito's Cat Diary: Yon & Mu (Manga) / int_e683db22 |
comment |
Nonhumans Lack Attributes: Averted; the cats have assholes, and one chapter focuses on Mu being neutered, though nothing is shown in the latter case. |

You Are Number 6: A-ko's family names their cats for the number they are in the list, with Yon being "four(th)", Goro being "five/fifth" and Mu being "six(th)". |
