Snowbebe is the odd cat out, a small white kitten who threatens the other cats existence with his bold appearances in the museum. It catches the attention of a tour guide who befriends the night manager who has a mysterious connection to our little white cat. Cats of the Louvre embodies philosophy and perspective to craft a story that is quintessential Japanese, adult and sweet in an edgy and dreamy sort of way. manga and one of the saddest scenes in the manga involves these two. But in contrast, there's a few cats that got hit with the ugly BIG time. That's not to say that's a completely bad thing though as they start to receive their own charm as you get to know them. However, they are still awkward to look at.

Not every story needs to be filled with 3-dimensional characters, but for me, as well as trying to get used to the bizarre personalities of some of the cats, this manga didn't excite me like others in its genre. I might be biased towards the author's other work as well, but I enjoyed Tekkonkinkreet so much more for its complexity and characters that were a lot more memorable.

“Cats of the Louvre” is Taiyo Matsumoto’s Fairy Tale About

A surreal tale of the secret world of the cats of the Louvre, told by Eisner Award winner Taiyo Matsumoto. Es un manga enigmático, de espíritu melancólico, con cierto realismo mágico y un estilo de dibujo muy europeo. Snowbébé is the white cat Cécile saw, living at the Louvre with a small feline colony. Despite the other cats being harsh and cold toward him, Snowbébé believes it is better than being out on the street. Curiously, he has not grown beyond being a kitten, but he possesses a mysterious power—he can hide inside the Louvre's paintings. The world-renowned Louvre museum in Paris contains more than just the most famous works of art in history. At night, within its darkened galleries, an unseen and surreal world comes alive—a world witnessed only by the small family of cats that lives in the attic. Until now… I give this book a four with the very important (to me, at any rate) caveat that if you are the sort of person who can't stand it when an animal is hurt in fiction, this will be a little hard to read. That certainly was the case for me in a few places, and given that the story is about a feral cat colony living in the attics of the Louvre in Paris and that it's by Taiyo Matsumoto, who rarely skimps on the harsher realities of a situation, it is within its rights to be there. But I could absolutely see it ruining the book for some readers.Cats of the Louvre - The Fall 2019 Manga Guide". Anime News Network. October 28, 2019. Archived from the original on July 25, 2020 .

Een manga die Taiyo Matsumoto in opdracht voor het Louvre maakte, het op sommige momenten surrealistische verhaal speelt zich vooral af tijdens de nachten in het Louvre, waar op de zolder een paar katten leven en een meisje ooit in een schilderij verdween. Het is een echte Matsumoto qua thematiek, het belang van kunst, de surreële elementen die erin verwerkt zijn, maar ook de outcasts die worstelen met hun eenzaamheid, pijn en het zoeken naar een eigen plek in deze wereld. Het zijn elementen die onlosmakelijk met zijn hele wezen verbonden zijn en altijd in meer of mindere mate in zijn werk terug zijn te vinden. De gebroken dromen en de hoop zijn in wezen die van Matsumoto zelf die als kind opgroeide in een gezinsvervangend tehuis en dat zijn leven lang met zich meedraagt. Ik ben er in elk geval altijd door geraakt en hou erg van zijn werk. Het is niet altijd even toegankelijk, en als je van een flitsend verhaal met vaart houdt moet je dit zeker niet oppakken, het is traag, en, ik heb een boek nog niet eerder zo genoemd, een erg introvert werk. As for the plot, it could be confusing at times, but overall was still enjoyable. Not to mention, but the story itself was a beautiful comentary on coping with loss. Now, was it perfect? No, and it could be somewhat boring at times. Some of the human characters were one-dimensional, but (for instance) there was an old man who claimed his sister disappeared into the paintings when they were children. I honestly enjoyed his character arc and how it tied to the overall plot and the main cat, Snowbebe.

This is where the manga really shines. The characters are so well done and thought through that they make the brightest stars painted on this canvas. Whether it's the world of cats or the human world, personalities clash, and we act driven by our past experiences. Interactions between the characters give us the insight into some of the inner struggles and demons, harsh reality and cruelties some of them went through, but also remind us of kindness and sacrifice, and how someone can change for the sake of someone else. They are all relatable, all too relatable, and it is hard not to find a little bit of yourself in the characters. Taiyo Matsumoto effortlessly crafts a moody atmosphere for the Louvre at night for Cats of the Louvre. You sense right away that all is not right in the museum never suspecting that at the center of it all is a small white kitten. As we get to know Marcel, the night caretaker, we learn that the art hanging on the walls can be dangerous to those that can hear them. Snowbebe has those kinds of ears and spends all of his time concentrated on the paintings that he's become quite estranged from his little cat family. Cats of the Louvre ( Japanese: ルーヴルの猫, Hepburn: Rūvuru no Neko) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Taiyō Matsumoto. It was serialized in Shogakukan's Big Comic Original magazine from June 2016 to July 2017.Not a personal fav but still has a lot of fascinating artistic experimentation as always (this time incorporating pencil drawings along with ink and pen, which produces yet another very interesting effect).

Favorite characters: the long-lost little girl and the young cat, who share 1) a propensity to age slowly and 2) a yearning to escape into a painting (the funeral of Love, aka Cupid, image below; the elderly caretaker (yes, the little girl’s brother. We’re toying just a bit with time here); the disillusioned museum guide (whose story I would’ve liked more of). Oh and the cats of course, and their anthropomorphized versions. Least favorite characters: the feline-ized humans. Very few of those, thankfully. Basically? Guys in cat suits.

Taiyo Matsumoto is one of the more unpredictable and unusual manga creators out there. Past titles like Tikkonkinkreet and Ping Pong suggest his ideas are outliers in manga canon. They don't have the usual codified cute faces or awkward teen dramas of many series. Cats of the Louvre might be his most unexpected story yet. Natalie (in Japanese). July 20, 2017.
