The Complete Chi's Sweet Home, Part 4 by Kanata Konami
Table of Content
Delivery times may vary, especially during peak periods. In the short chapters, Chi the kitten interacts with her human family and with other cats in the park. The whole plot turns on her inability to remember her cat family and her confusion over what her real home is. This was sufficient; I won’t read the other volumes. It was a really sad way to end the series, but I loved this series so so so much. Thankfully I still have the other smaller series to read as well as the rest of Konami's books.
The animals are all quite adorable, Chi being the cutest of the bunch. The illustrations perfectly capture all of the cats' movements, particularly Chi's chaotic ones. I'm often reminded of my own cats' antics when reading these books as the depiction of the cats' expressions and movements are so well done. Although the end was incredibly sad, the entirety of the book was really bittersweet as well. The very beginning was the same as normal- Cocchi being confused about everything in Chi's home and Mr. Yamada taking a billion pictures of Chi .
About this product
Maybe you aren't a nonsense person after all. Kirby and friends get up to yummy hijinks in this delightful manga collection. Her works revolves around the daily life of house cats. Overall, I'm sad Chi's story has come to an end. I love that I got to know her and the Yamada's.
The fact that Chi came back sick not once but twice and the owners still let her outside because she was moping around felt truly unrealistic and irresponsible. Her own mom even almost got killed because Chi was too dumb to look for a car. Cats, animals, don't understand it, and some people go out of their way to kill cats. Anyway, rant aside, and those bits stressing me out aside, it's a cute, solid series with a good message about always finding your way to home and family.

It took a while for me to get into the story. I would like to say that this volume is slightly different from the rest, it has a bit more serious issues addressed. This volume deals with a lot of identity, family, and home.
It’s so incredibly sweet, beautifully simple, and intelligently accurate in its depiction of animal behavior. I read this whenever I need to change the channel in my mind or I need a pick me up! This is distracting enough it always engulfs me and refocuses my mind on something positive.

Can families be more than blood or are families those we choose? Chi finally meets his kitten family, his two siblings and his mom. It takes him a while to figure it out but when he does he's torn between his human family and the cat family. As usual, the cats were all adorable and really great ending... (chariots of fire was playing in my head!). The art in this manga series is excellent and I love how brightly colored everything is.
Great for cat and general animal lovers, children, people who love cute things, people who need relaxing and funny literature. Will ship within 5 business days of receiving cleared payment. The seller has specified an extended handling time for this item. Chi is a mischievous newborn kitten who, while on a leisurely stroll with her family, finds herself lost.
All in all a really great end to one of the best series I've read in a long time. Another super cute installment to this children's manga series. Chi's Sweet Home follows a kitten as he adjusts to life with his new family. He's learning to be part of a family and also learning how to be a cat. In this fourth installment, he starts to learn about his original family, his mom and kitty siblings, because he has forgotten them. Once they are back in his life though, Chi will have to make some hard choices.
And here I am now, a completely changed person. This bind-up contains the final 54 chapters of Chi's story. We see quite a bit of Chi's mom and siblings in this volume compared to the last few. One of the big storylines in this volume was a lost cat poster each of the Yamada members find that is of Chi. Each family member struggles with what to do as they've come to love Chi and don't want to give her up. Ultimately I liked that it was Chi who made the choice of where she belonged and I was happy with the ending.
But then we get that gut-wrenching reminder that things aren't as perfect as I'd like them to be on the third chapter! And then things only get worse from there on out. But then just as soon as there was a happy moment there was a sad moment. Overall The Complete Chi’s Sweet Home Part 4 perfectly wraps up the series and I really enjoyed all of the volumes. This manga series would be a great introduction to younger readers newer to the format and for any cat lovers. In her nearly thirty year career, Konami has penned more than a dozen comic series, with the majority of them focusing on cats and pets.
I liked the animation and cat thoughts/feelings/expressions for everything. I did find it a bit weird that the cats could understand so much of the human language and Chi was so horribly dense on everything. Even for a kitten, she was super stupid. I rate it four stars across the board and, sadly, will not be purchasing this to add to my personal library. Probably won't reread it either, but that's mainly a me thing. I think I would have enjoyed this more if I had read the first book.
As a cat lover the whole story really tugged on my heartstrings. And even though this story is made to be simple and easier for young children to understand, it still had depth and had some really emotional moments. It was simple in theory, but it had heavy themes about family, friendship, and identity.
Seriously though, if you've been reading the series up to this point there's nothing new to say. Everything is still adorable, there absolutely is a chara arc & development running under the cuteness. One somehow gets really anxious at how easily the cats get outside the home & go to the park.... Who would have thought I would read through 4 Volumes of manga about a little kitten named Chi?
