Ito Junji no Neko Nikki (猫日記 よん&むー Neko Nikki Yon to Mū) also known as Cat Diary: Yon and Muu is a manga by famous horror manga author Junji Ito and his daily life with his fiancée's cats.
Drawn in his usual style used for his previous works like Gyo and Uzumaki, this manga is actually comedy, but with similar visual effects of his earlier works for comedy value.
Tropes used in Ito Junji no Neko Nikki include:
- Author Avatar: Mr. J is Junji Ito himself
- Cats Are Mean: Subverted, or played straight, depending on your point of view.
- Cat Scare
- Cloudcuckoolander: Mr. J and A-ko chan.
- Cuteness Proximity: With a healthy dose of Nightmare Face. No kiddin'.
- Does This Remind You of Anything?: Despite polar opposite art-styles, the humor is quite similar to Hyperbole and a Half, in part because they're based in the personal stories of the artist.
- He Also Did: Junji Ito is known mostly for his horror stories, like Gyo and Uzumaki.
- Journal Comic
- Lighter and Softer: Compared to the rest of his works.
- Mark of the Beast: Yon's markings on his back look like a human skull. This troubled Mr. J in the manga before he grew fond of him.
- Nightmare Face: A-ko, J's wife: no irises, and ALWAYS smiling. Once in a while, J makes one too.
- Playing Against Type: This series compared to the rest of his work.
- Ridiculously Cute Critter: Muu.
- Slice of Life
