Credits Grade: 5 Mizuki can't hold a job so he begs his brother to let him stay with him. Unfortunately, they aren't allowed to have guests in the company dorm so he sneaks Mizuki in. All of his brother's roommates are a bunch of hot guys who love their new "pet cat" - especially since he's cute and cleans the place. The coldest one them all, may be the warmest heart for this particular cat ... and warmest with other parts of the anatomy as well. When Mizuki tries to get another job, it turns him into a cat in another way, and causes him to hide shamefully from the ones he loves.This is a really cute yaoi manga. Unfortunately it's also a bit frustrating. The main guys keep getting interrupted (they get one time uninterrupted and then it's back to the whole gang showing up). That built a good tension, but if that last scene had not been in there I would have said don't bother as it would have just been a tease. There's nothing hard-core, and the "pet" thing leads to some very bondage thoughts (that are unfortunately not acted on). The art is nice, not stellar but nice, and reminds me of Gravitation. Mizuki's not really a lovable character which is another frustrating point about this manga. Yes he's cute and he pulls of the cat thing very well, buthe's really rather pathetic. It's kinda of a good read, if you don't mind the really emotion parts being gone over quickly and the sexual parts going nowhere. Written: October 26, 2008
