History Manga / ItoJunjiNoNekoNikki

* ComicalOverreacting: The usual source of the NightmareFace, ala Junji Ito in this manga.

''Ito Junji No Neko Nikki'' ("Junji Ito's Cat Diary"), also known as ''Cat Diary: Yon and Muu'' (猫日記 よん&むー ''Neko Nikki Yon to Mū''), is a manga by famous horror manga author Creator/JunjiIto and his daily life with his fiancée's cats.

Drawn in his usual style used for his previous works like ''Manga/{{Gyo}}'' and ''Manga/{{Uzumaki}}'', this manga is actually comedy, but with similar visual effects of his earlier works for comedy value.

* CloudCuckooLander: Mr. J and A-ko chan.
* ComicalOverreacting: The usual source of the NightmareFace ala Junji Ito in this manga.
* CutenessProximity: With a healthy dose of NightmareFace.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Despite polar opposite art-styles, the humor is quite similar to ''HyperboleAndAHalf'', in part because they're based in the personal stories of the artist.

* FaceOfAThug: Yon is basically the cat version of this trope. Mr. J is scared of his face even before seeing the skull-like markings on his back. He's actually quite affectionate.
* FourIsDeath: The cat with the death's head markings is known as Yon, which is the AlternateCharacterReading of the kanji for the number 4, "shi" that's used because the latter sounds like the word for death. The name could be a sort of VisualPun.

* {{Iyashikei}}: Aside from the spooky art style, this is really a comic about a [[HappilyMarried Happily Engaged]] couple doting on their cats. One of the most dramatic incidents is when Yon runs away, [[spoiler:which is resolved when he's found at the plumbers' warehouse and the nice folks who work there help catch him]]. It's basically about nice people and cute cats.

* MarkOfTheBeast: Yon's markings on his back look like a skull. This troubled Mr. J in the manga before he grew fond of him.

* NightmareFace: A-ko, J's wife: no irises, and ALWAYS smiling. Once in a while, J makes one too.

* ReallyDeadMontage: [[spoiler:Subverted]].

* TearsOfJoy: Mr. J when Muu sleeps next to him. [[spoiler:Except it's not really Muu, it's just his bedding.]]

* TraumaInducedAmnesia: [[spoiler:Muu, after being neutered]].
* WhatMeasureIsANonCute: Mr J initially wants nothing to do with Yon, who's not very cute no matter which way you look at him, but he gradually warms up to him.

* ToiletHumor: Mr. J buys a plastic poop.
