Cats of the Louvre

Product Information

The art is pretty avant-garde, which allows for wide variety of emotions, ambience and the overall feel of the story. It goes really well with the story and it's setting, as well as characters' personalities and experiences. It creates this impression of the museum itself being alive and quite literally being intertwined with everything and everyone inside of it, making you think how everything in life is related as well. It is thanks to this art that we get to experience not only the emotions of one character, but of every single one inside the panel, as well as the overall emotion that the situation evokes in us, making some of the moments that more relatable.

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. Martin, Theron (September 26, 2019). "Cats of the Louvre [Hardcover] GN - Review". Anime News Network. Archived from the original on March 5, 2020 . Retrieved July 25, 2020. Cats of the Louvre is a beautiful, moving, and artistically rich story about escapism, and the value therein. As someone who also lives in dreams, inside the canvas, I cannot get it out my mind. There are so many layers, so many things I want to talk about, so many questions yet unanswered. Like the paintings at the Louvre, it demands the most careful, loving consideration. If you too love art and can hear the paintings sing, you owe it to yourself to experience it.

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. Cats of the Louvre is a standalone volume by Taiyo Matsumoto, an Eisner Award winner. This is not a cutsie story about cats posing in the most famous art museum... It's quintessential Japanese, adult and sweet in an edgy and dreamy sort of way. And will leave you thinking about what it all means long after you finish it! Another one of the Louvre-sponsored graphic novels about the Louvre, one of the most ambitious of all of them, a tw0-volume manga by Taiyo Matsumoto (Sunny) filled with mystery and fantasy and pathos and strangeness and an appreciation for the attractions of art for anyone. As with some others from the series, this one depends on what happens at the Louvre after hours, during the night, behind the scenes; with that Toy Story assumption--when a toy falls in the playroom and there is no adult around to hear it, that means magic happens. From the creator of Tekkonkrinkreet, this manga is filled with the author's unique character designs. Something I found interesting is that there is a clear improvement in art as the manga progresses. To be honest, I wasn't too big a fan of some of the faces and how inconsistent they could be in the beginning, but this isn't too big of an issue later on.Ressler, Karen (February 14, 2019).

Each of the human characters were enjoyable to read. They got the plot moving along at a good pace and were fun to see interact with each other. The cats are obviously the stars of the show and each of them were interesting. Snowbebe especially was delightful to read about. Marcel's tragic past becomes the catalyst for the slowly paced but highly intriguing story: 50 years ago, he lost his sister at the museum, and he believes her saw her walk into a painting where she might still be living to this day. The kitten Snowbebe, meanwhile, is discovering his own ability to wander in and out of paintings, and his misadventures might very well end up being the key to Marcel finally finding some sort of resolution.
