A manga about a strange cat eyed boy who is hated by humans and demons.
I rather enjoyed this manga! I liked how the titular cat eyed boy was morally grey and how is sometimes ambivalent towards the plight of humans. He even sides with the monsters if the humans are evil and deserve to be punished. I can see the appeal this series would have to young readers, as cat eyed boy isn’t your straight forward hero. Kazuo Umezu‘s monster designs are creepy and he does include violence but I wouldn’t say it’s extreme enough for a content warning. I’m glad this series is available from VIZ.
