The Masterful Cat is Depressed Again Today (Dekiru Neko wa KyÅ� mo Yuutsu) is a Slice of Life comedy manga written and illustrated by Hitsuji Yamada. The manga began serialization in SuiyÅ�bi no Sirius in 2018, and was later picked up in Monthly ShÅ�nen Sirius as well in 2021. Seven Seas Entertainment publishes the manga in English with 9 volumes released. An anime adaptation produced by GoHands aired as part of the Summer 2023 season for thirteen episodes.Three years ago, Tokyo salarywoman Saku Fukuzawa adopted a black cat and named him Yukichi. In the present day, Yukichi still lives with her—but not only has he grown to an enormous size and learned to walk on two legs, he's also highly intelligent and is the one who takes care of Saku rather than the other way around. While Saku heads off to work, Yukichi is placed in charge of looking after her apartment, buying the groceries, getting any mail for her and cleaning the place to make sure it's nice and tidy by the time she gets back.Although Saku does wonder from time to time why Yukichi isn't an average cat... |

Dope Slap: In a flashback, when Saku got so drunk she couldn't make it home her boss assisted her in getting back to the apartment. Yukichi bowed in thanks to Saku's boss, then slapped Saku for causing trouble with her drinking. |

comment |
Elephant in the Living Room: Yukichi is a bear-sized, bipedal cat who goes outside to handle errands, but anyone who sees him can't work up the nerve to ask what's up with that. In the end, they either wilfully ignore it or just assume Yukichi is someone wearing a cat fur suit. |

Lethal Chef: Yukichi learned to cook, in part, because Saku can barely crack an egg. Fires might also be an issue, considering she bought an extinguisher and a welding mask for cooking lessons. |

comment |
Mistaken for Badass: At the office, Saku is considered a role model — she's beautiful, hardworking, can cook and bake her own food, Never Gets Drunk and seemingly immune to hangovers. The joke is that she can't explain this is because her giant cat is taking care of her. That said, her Action Girl self-defense credentials are legit. |

comment |
Tsundere: Unsurprisingly, Yukichi is one as a temperamental cat. His inner monologues frequently criticize Saku for being a drunken Manchild at home, and insists their relationship is transactional — he takes care of her, she works and brings back cat food — but flashbacks frequently show that Yukichi has seen Saku's nurturing side, and is forever grateful for being adopted by her even when she could barely look after herself. |

Accessory-Wearing Cartoon Animal: While Yukichi doesn’t have much need for clothes, he’s often seen wearing an apron around the house. He also has a sanitary apron for trips to the supermarket, to avoid shedding on the produce. |

Furry Reminder: Despite his size and intelligence, Yukichi will sometimes do things that remind everyone that he is a cat, such as getting hyperfocused on a fly buzzing around the apartment or choosing to wake Saku up for work by sitting on her face. |

Shout-Out |
| | The Masterful Cat is Depressed Again Today (Manga) / int_c75df49a |
comment |
Shout-Out: Yukichi sometimes refers to himself with the archaic pronoun "wagahai", which alludes to I Am a Cat (whose main protagonist, also a cat, refers to himself with the same pronoun). Saku dreads seeing Sazae-san air on TV in its usual Sunday evening timeslot, since it reminds her that she has to go to work the next day. |

Funny Animal: Yukichi the cat straddles the line between this trope and Intellectual Animal; he's practically a human being in most of his behavior and even walks on two legs, but cannot talk and has a few cat-like hang-ups. He has a few internal monologues where he describes his occasional dissatisfactions with life, cynicism about humans and Saku in particular. |
