Kuro is a wonderful little full colored the extra chapters arent full colored horror manga by Soumatouhttps://anilist.co/staff/117323/Soumatou about a girl living all alone in a mysterious and deserted mansion with her black cat named simply Kuro. I went into this knowing nothing more than it was under the horror genre and that there was a strange looking cat. 440https://i.ur.com/Ag1Q9kp.png I did not expect to get not only a great story about coping with ones grief by turning a blind eye to the circumstances of the world around you but also a look into an interesting world that seems to be twisted and tormented by horrific monsters that seem to dwell and hunt within anywhere outside of the white boundaries created by the still living humans. 440https://i.ur.com/8CDHurq.png One of my favorite flavors of horror or rather I suppose one of my favorite character types is someone who has underwent such a traumatic experience that they block the horror that theyve endured and is still going around them outside of their minds. Hence its obvious to say that I loved the character of Coco and her relationships to the other characters who are fully aware of the situation of not only Coco herself but the current world they live in. 440https://i.ur.com/z0Q2Wa5.png Additionally I tend to love the idea of pets in a horror situation. Kuro despite being a cat is of course the center character of this manga. Even while Coco is very much unaware of the glaring truth around Kuros current existence Kuro both not only protects Coco from the monsters outside but one can only imagine what would have become of Coco if she didnt have Kuro following the traumatic event that caused her to shut away the outside world and the truth. 440https://i.ur.com/4eCpTM9.png ...Of course there is also a huge amount of fun and adorable cat shenanigans. He may be a monster and he can very deadly if he wants to be but Kuro was adorable from beginning to end. Really if you happen to be a cat person youre probably going to automatically like this manga by default. As a matter of fact Kuro is probably actually my favorite cat in anime/manga overall. That might not be fair to say though. Considering in Kuros case this entire manga of course revolves around him whereas all the other cats I really really like are just additional parts of the series theyre from rather than the main spotlight though at times they borrow it. 440https://i.ur.com/CYY7ArD.png Before we conclude I also need to note that I really REALLY love that this manga But yeah overall I give this without even a moments hesitation a 10 out of 10 and it has easily strong armed its way into a position on my list of overall favorites. Ive of course seen the monster cat thinghttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PetSematary be done before but never in an adorable and heartwarming way. Its strange to say this about not only a horror manga but a manga centered around trauma and death. But... This manga actually made me feel happy Also I should at least note that I am VERY biased because yes I am of course a cat person.https://anilist.co/activity/10477690 440https://i.ur.com/OwQC2eL.png
