@001 Thank you. It was a wonderful chapter too!

@001 Your work is much appreciated, I'm looking forward for the next chapter after this long wait 🤗

Update (11/07/2019): The tentative date of the next release will be this weekend. Currently, I'm doing QC and proofing.
Update (11/11/2019): Thanks for the support guys. I'll try to work on the next chapter little by little.
Update (11/11/2019): I'll probably get the next chapter pretty soon. It's a relatively short one.
Update (11/12/2019): I think I can get the next chapter out in a day or two, if not, tonight. The next two chapters will definitely take longer.

@CthulhuCousin @sudzzuds I'll try to crank something out for the weekend. I've been trying to stabilize my work-life balance and re-learn Japanese again. Blame my procrastination and general life's distractions.

@CthulhuCousin: Dunno, but leaning on no atm. @001 is generally busy with real life and schooling and such, and this is a pet project to them. You can tell from the jumps in chapter time releases that several month gaps is normal.

Another more important factor to keep in mind is that Ike is a monthly chapter releaser. Give or take, each volume of Neko Musume can take anywhere from 7 to 9 months just to release a volume. Just jump to the RAW site and you'll see how long it took to get this far.

Just took this opportunity to read 118.... frig, I missed a good arc.

Is this on hiatus?

@CthulhuCousin Yeah, it does give off the feeling like the mangaka did not think much about the direction of this manga when it first started and just go along with the wholesome vibe because he like it the most.

Anyhow, my bet is that many people are turned away by the sudden loli groping scene in the first chapter, thinking "wtf is this perverted mango?" without having the desire to keep reading.

@LoliALF
You're high as hell. Tomboys is where its at. Slovenly girl in shorts >>>>> boy in pretty dress.

@X3h0n
more feminin than the girls + he is cute + looks more like a girl than his sister = best girl

@sauvi Spoiler During that time she had black hair. BTW, its Koma, kuma means bear :P
@LoliALF He's a boy, you know.

so what exactly is Kuma's backstory with that long black hair? i read the whole series but i dont seem to see anything definite that i remember

I'm loving this manga, but I feel like the sudden perviness (mostly from one of the characters) often just throws off the entire vibe it has going. It'll be ridiculously wholesome, then suddenly super degenerate.

Edit: I feel like somehow the mangaka had heard me, as the chapters I read after I commented totally changed.

Does this series qualify for the Award Winning tag? If you notice the inside part of the cover in the most recent chapter was translated, and it says "Received the second Ryuujin award for Comic Ryuu's April 2008 Edition's Ayakashippoi and debuted. The title of the work was changed to Nekomusume Michikusa Nikki and serialised." It also seems that the standard for a series to be tagged award winning in Mangadex isn't very high, with Twitter awarded manga and Pixiv awards all qualifying, and a winner from an actual magazine is a cut above.

I'm surprised that this series was never given an anime.

Almost done with Volume 16. I'll probably put something out this week. Thanks for the comments, guys.
Update: 4-8-19 That's the last of the pre-translated chapters. Expect a slower release pace while I catch up with life. But don't worry. I'm not expecting it to be a 5 month gap like last time.
Update: 5-21-19 The first chapter of Volume 17 will be released soon, hopefully within the week or so.

Boy, four months ago last update ,_,

no doubt Shishimaru is the best girl

I hope you guys enjoyed the flood of chapters! Now that all the backed up translations have been proofed and edited, it's gonna be a slow burn from now on.
Edit: Added the RAW Link for anyone who wants a peek at the latest stuff. Looking forward to Chapter 111 for new girl.

We battle manga now. Can the gang hold out until our hero completes her training and returns at the last minute as super saiNyan god super saiNyan?
