Creepy Cat

Creepy Cat is a gag-a-day type of story that sometimes breaks off into a small plot piece that gets completely solved without problems or consequences. Art: 8/10 The art is very much cute, or stylish in the gothic aesthetic, sometimes trying to be cute-creepy, achieving a tone similar to Tim Burton in occasions. I love the diverse designs on each of the characters, and some of the gags work well because of those designs, such as the creepy mascots. Characters: 6/10 It's just acceptable with the characters. Simple, cute, usually just archetypes that collide with each other, however, they do manage to give them small pieces of depthwith flashbacks and motives for being the way they are. The one that changes the most is the titular creepy cat, and that's the cutest part of this story, since slight changes overtime make you love it even more. Dialogue/Comedy: 5/10 Being a gag manga, the comedy should be most of what hits in the story, but it really doesn't that much. I never really audibly laugh, it just looked like a stylish fan art that you don't have that much of an opinion about. I wasn't completely bored, but at some point I just wanted to finish it and move on. Sad that the point of the story is what failed the most. Story: 4/10 Usually, comedies can have a simple enough plot, doesn't need to be complex, it should just have an idea to follow, but the meandering nature of this story managed to really bring it down. A story about nothing, just people living with bizarre situations, and sometimes we do get plot, but it isn't that interesting until the very end. Maybe the worst aspect, but that's coming from a guy that needs a story to enjoy a story. Overall: 5.75 Creepy cat has no real story, and if there is, it just ends back in the same status quo. Comedy series do that, it isn't something I hate, but I do want some variety, even within simplicity. Being slice of life isn't a problem, it's just a me thing. Some readers will love creepy cat, but I'm within the people that don't really.
