A Kiss with a Cat

This one really flew under my radar! I'm honestly not a huge fan of boy-turns-into-animal trope as it can be pretty predictable and boring (unless done correctly like Fruits Basket), but I was pleasantly surprised and happy I ended up reading this one! It's a fairly simple read, and can easily be finished in one sitting with only 25 chapters. The story itself is pretty surface level, not much happens, and there's really not much conflict or fleshing out of any of the characters, though I feel this was done purposefully to keep it a light read. Because of this, the relationship between the MCs developquickly and effortlessly. The real enjoyment I found was the artwork and dynamic between the MCs. I feel that was enough to keep me reading, but if you're looking for anything deeper than this you may not feel satisfied. I will say, this one is STEAMY and reads almost more like a josei rather than a shoujo. So while it's light and fluffy, there are some very intimate scenes that are done very well. Overall I do recommend this one, especially for those looking for a straight forward romance with a lot of teasing and intimate moments. I will say, the one thing I would have really liked to see is their lives beyond high school, it always makes for the perfect icing on the cake for me :)
