The Civil War has ended and Norachiyo has returned to life as a stray, he wanders the country side looking for his final resting place while protecting those strays who find themselves at the mercy of "kept" cats and catnip-pushing druglords.
This series had me at "Catnip Druglords". Outside of the hilarious translations of human issues to cats this was an absolutely fantastic tale of life as a ronin told through a cat. Norachiyo is definitely not what I'd call a good guy though. He hasn't really set out to save the strays (peasants) from the kept cats (upper classes) he just happens to have a code of honor that he cant ignore. He also seems to possibly be immortal and there's a mysterious priest who seems to know a bit about Norachiyo's past.
And look seriously this is bloody and violent. If you're looking for a cutesy tale about a cat samurai this is not it. Yes, its funny in some parts but it is definitely R Rated humor.
Nekogahara Stary Samurai Cat Vol 2
We learn a little bit more of Norachiyo's past and why he is so dedicated to finding his master, a mysterious new group is introduced and I think we've found a side kick!
I'm definitely loving this series!
