Man - this book made me feel some feels that I was unprepared to have. What an emotional ride. Like the title implies - this book follows a cat and his journey around Japan with his owner. Born as an outside cat, Nana lives the first few years of his life on the street - but when he is hit by a car, kind and loving Satoru takes him in. He's not sure he wants to be an indoor cat but he soon grows to love his human, even though he hates the name he is given, Nana. They spend five happy years together but soon Saturo must find a new owner for Nana. They travel all across Japan meeting up with Saturo's old friends and classmates trying to find a suitable new owner for Nana. While traveling Nana gets to learn all about Saturo's childhood and formative years and starts to get a better appreciation for his human. Heartfelt, touching, and I definitely just shed some tears.
