the kitty is from cafe kichijouji de, which is a fluffy, random, utterly insane manga/radio drama series that never fails to make me grin. like ouran koukou host club, except with even less of a plot.
(thought the eyes looked familiar - have only just found out from Google that said cat is Sukekiyo (sp?), though the workings of Cafe Kichijouji and its resident bishounen must remain a dark mystery)
sukekiyo, yep. would you like me to upload scanlations of the first volume, or something? there's also a taiwanese ( iirc, anyway -- prolly tongli ) version on the market. though it is a very silly, angst-free series, so i'm not sure that it'd appeal to you very much. ^_^;;
(wonder if there's a specific japanese writing style associated with things occult, like the supernatural is associated with the Irish/Eastern European traditions?)
I enjoyed both volumes (land of crack and sakura indeed! especially the chibi side-stories) immensely, thank you again ^_^
And I would so buy a sukekiyo plushie, if there were indeed such an entity XD
( maybe a flatter style that's reminiscent of the earlier forms of writing? like on the fuda in yami no matsuei, iirc. or something. )
no problem. :D in the original japanese volumes ( as well as the chinese translations ) the dialogue in the chibi side-stories is bilingual, with the engrish bits contributing to the absurdity. minagawa's last line in the summer one, for example, is the far more cryptic: "it is how to have a mind."
given that there's a punyan plushie, i'm surprised at the lack of a sukekiyo one. they do have a terrifying sukekiyo oven mitt, though: http://www.animate.co.jp/animate/goods2.asp?wid=000000000030&pg=5

the third ( and last, alas ) volume is my favourite, though. sukekiyo gets a little more page-time, too. ^_^

Shall savour the rest at leisure ^_^
