""Soseki Natsume is a great writer to have in anyone's collection. At his best, his prose is lush and rife with human observation and insight. He is capable of genuine pathos as seen in his novels such as Kokoro and I Am a Cat, but he is also capable of great humor and satire, as in the case of both Cat and Botchan."" —Seattle Post-Intelligencer ""This retelling absolutely did the original text justice. This is possibly my favorite manga retelling of a Japanese classic. All the important details were there— the layered emotions of the characters, the complex relationships between them, the tension and the anguish, and then of course the famous quotes that many readers have come to hold dear through the years since this classic had been brought to an international audience."" —Dominique Jardiolin, @chroniqled bookstagram
