Katsumi Inami has been drawing the illustrations, and the third volume shipped on September 30.
Every Saturday when the shop takes a day off, Nekoya is teeming full of “special customers.”
Inuzuka previously commented that the manga will share the same first chapter about menchikatsu (deep-fried ground meat cutlet) as his novel, but the second chapter will be different.
Inuzuka launched the story on the Shōsetsu-ka ni Narō (literally, “Let’s Become Novelists”) website in 2013, and Shufunotomo’s Hero Bunko imprint published the first print volume in February 2015.
