Our Monthly Staff Pick this June is something a little different to kick off your Summer!
This double selection, based on the short film by acclaimed director Makoto Shinkai (‘Your Name’, ‘Suzume’), features the manga adaptation of ‘She and Her Cat’ as well as ‘She and Her Cat: Stories’ and highlight the many ways in which art can be explored and grow over time.
The manga adaptation by Tsubasa Yamaguchi follows Miyu, the titular “She”, and Chobi, the titular “Cat” as they grow and change through the seasons of a year in this coming of age story about early adulthood perfect for fans of slice of life manga and a gentle vibed tale for those looking to enter the genre.
In the recent lit-fic and Bookstagram favorite, ‘She and Her Cat: Stories’, Naruki Nagakawa greatly expands on Shinkai’s tale of Chobi & Miyu in a retelling that switches perspective between the two as they learn to navigate each other and the world around them. The anthology then follows three additional cats and “their” humans in stories intertwining with the first, and each other, about the power of connection in all of their lives.
Both of these titles will be available for 20% off throughout the month of June, while supplies last. (and a special shout-out to, bookseller-owned cat, Jinx, for modeling for our photo)
