The Fur Flies

Tuesday, August 24th, 2010

In little more than a few weeks, Chi, Japan’s latest feline star, has found her way into thousands of homes across North America. With her second volume now available in stores, this little kitty is ready to leave the living room in search of greener pastures. But is our curious American Shorthair ready to take on the backyard, let alone the world? We hope so, but she might need some help.

Guided by new furry friends, and her best pal Yohei, Chi will be taking her new adventures on the road. First she’ll take command of her building’s perimeter. Then she’s got a park to conquer… After that who knows, she might take over a few alleys just to build up some turf! But let’s hope Chi doesn’t forget to protect her home, ’cause there are rumors of another cat causing trouble.

Tuesday, June 29th, 2010

Introducing Chi! The cute adorable American Shorthair has taken Japan by storm, and after successful campaigns in East Asia and Spain, she is ready to pounce on the U.S. publishing scene. Having previously received acclaim as a star of the small screen, through the widely popular animated series Chi’s New Home (currently streaming online for free at CrunchyRoll.com), Chi is making her North American print debut today with the release of the first volume of the Chi’s Sweet Home comic series.

Volume 1, presented in full color, details our feline heroine’s adventures with her new adopted family, the Yamadas. Presented equally from the perspectives of the kitten and her many admirers, Chi’s Sweet Home is a genuine look at the many trials and touching moments of kitty raising. Comic readers and cat fanciers alike should instantly be charmed by our favorite kitty and we hope to see Chi adopted by homes across the continent in the near future.
