Fukumaru and the Spaceship of Happiness is a picture book spinoff of the A Man & His Cat manga series. I bought my copy of this volume new.
Review:
Fukumaru, a cat who is much loved by "Daddy," the man who adopted him, learns about wishing on a shooting star and wants to wish on one of his own. However, the star he wishes upon crashes and turns out to be a spaceship crewed by alien cats. They need Fukumaru to provide them with Happy, the thing that powers their ship.
Oh, the sound I made when I learned that the adorable A Man & His Cat series had a related picture book, and that it was available in English. Anyway, this was just as cute and sweet as I expected it to be. Fukumaru and Mr. Kanda's love for each other gives me all kind of warm fuzzy feelings.
Although there's a flashback to the time when Mr. Kanda adopted Fukumaru, this book will probably work best for fans of the manga series.
