Maru the cat is definitely a resident internet celebrity by now, with all his adorable youtube antics. (One of my favorite videos of him was Maru and the big box, which I had previously blogged about here.) Last night I suddenly felt the need for some more Maru goodness, and after a bit of browsing came across Maru’s blog. I only meant to spend a few minutes on there but soon I found myself going through page after page, bizarrely addicted to the cuteness that is Maru. I think I got to page 17 before I had to force myself to stop clicking and go to bed – there’s just something about those adorable eyes, white paws, and ridiculous poses that I find absolutely irresistible! That and his owner is a great photographer ;D

So if you’re a cat lover, or even if you’re not a cat lover and just like looking at awfully cute things, you should definitely spend some time with Maru desu~!

(If I ever get a cat, I’d want one that’s just like Maru :D )

Don’t have enough ideas (A.K.A. am too lazy) to write full blog posts on some of my anime/manga viewings in the past month, so I thought I’d just consolidate some of my main thoughts into one big post below:

1. Why why why do all of my favorite shoujo mangaka have to stop at cliffhanger developments in their series and go on maternity leave?? Cases in point – Tomoko Ninomiya (Nodame Cantabile) stopping right before Nodame’s big debut, or Karuho Shiina (Kimi ni Todoke) leaving right before a pretty big misunderstanding between Sawako and Kazehaya can resolve itself. (Not going to ruin Kimi ni Todoke for those of you who haven’t caught up to the hiatus point, but this crisis is HUGE. Probably not too hard to guess what happened and the amount of agony such an event would cause the reader.) I know Tomoko Ninomiya has since returned from her break, but still. Babies suck :x
