Ore, Tsushima is a Japanese manga series by a manga artist, Opu no kyodai-Sensei.

This series started to be serialized on Opu no kyodai-Sensei’s Twitter since 2018 and then, the comics released from Shougakukan. Without being serialized in any magazines, more and more comics released and now 420,000 copies in total have been issued. It’s quite a popular cat manga series.

An anime television adaptation is scheduled to premiere in July, 2021 as well.

One day, there is a cat which is digging in the trash can.

‘Ojii-chan,’ who comes there to throw away trash, shouts at the cat, “Hey!”

And guess what? The cat spoke at her! “It’s none of your business, leave me alone.”

This is how Ojii-chan and the cat, Tsushima, met for the first time.

When Ojii-chan finds out that Tsushima is hungry, she asks Tsushima if he wants to become a part of her family and live with her at her house. Then Tsushima pleasantly accepts that offer and they have become family since then.

Actually, there are other cats living with Ojii-chan in her house.

There are not owned by her but they sometimes come visit Ojii-chan’s house to relax, be fed and hang out……

While Ojii-chan is taking a nap, Tsushima feels bored and decides to keep watch on her house as a guard.

Oops.

A strange cat came in.

They looked at each other, and……

The strange cat stole some cat food and quietly left the house.

Tsushima warned the cat, “I don’t know where you’re from but take care, alright?”

After Tsushima saw the cat off, he is back to the guard chore for her house.

So! It’s a ‘real’ cat manga, full of mysteries and lots of ‘common things’ among cat’s owners, depicted by a cat, Tsushima, a lady, Ojii-chan, who all the cats think is a male owner, and all the cats who have been staying with her before Tsushima came.

They don’t bother each other but somehow stay closer.

They keep the best distance between cats and a human. Check out Ore, Tsushima.
