Described as Japan's version of Garfield, Heathcliff, and Krazy Kat all rolled into one, Makoto Kobayashi's What's Michael? is one of graphic fiction's true comedic originals. It combines day-to-day cat scenarios every cat lover (and hater ) will recognize, with off-the-wall flights of fantasy that will have readers scratching their heads, while holding their sides from laughter. If you've had about enough of Superhero of the Week Summer, maybe it's time to switch gears and have a few - or more than a few - laughs with What's Michael?

Cat lovers will love this book!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
This is the first volume of What's Michael I've read- and now I'm intent on buying them all (starting at volume 1)! If you love cats and manga, this is for you. It is really, really, REALLY REALLY funny. The short stories (only a few pages each) are funny in and of themselves but it's the artwork that makes it great. Michael himself is hilarious, his cat-friends, the manner in which he's drawn, it's all fantastic. I devoured this paperback in about 20 minutes and had to bring it over to my sister for her to read. I sat next to her on the couch, cracking up all over again as she was reading and laughing. I've read and enoyed Nausicaa, Osamu Tezuka's work, countless other graphic novels and I'm thrilled to start adding the What's Michael series to my collection!
