“An ordinary Japanese high school student takes home an abandoned supernatural cat left in a cardboard box. Maybe he shouldn’t have meddled with kitties beyond human comprehension-after all, it had tentacles where its whiskers should have been! But it’s too late now,” the manga’s description reads.
“With no Elder Sign on the cat door, soon the pick of the Mythos litter starts to invade his house, as furry and feline versions of Hastur, Yog-Sothoth, Nyarlathotep, and other adorable Lovecraftian horrors blast his mind, whisper impossible secrets, and generally get underfoot!”
As you can see,ย Cthulhu Catย is ready to show fans the cutest kind of eldritch. Bandana’s manga collects a number of the most famous H.P. Lovecraft creations in existence. There is no doubt this slice-of-life manga will please fantasy lovers across the board, and it will do so with the most adorable Cthulhu on its side.
