I received this book from the publisher on Edelweiss in exchange of an honest review.

I am so sorry, but I have to start with this. This girl is NOT chubby (not as a human at least, as a cat she is chubby). She is thin/normal. She needs to eat more if anything. I am sorry mangaka but please no, do some research. I was so weirded out, at one point she was a child and being compared to her halfsister and called chubby, and I was like? Which one of them? The one with glasses? UMMMMMMM???? Her flabs are swaying? What flabs girlfriend? And how is she ugly? She wears glasses sure, but seriously? Can we stop with the whole OMG she has red hair and that is EWW, red hair is fucking gorgeous. She is gosh darn adorable and cute and I would date her if I was a prince or duke or whatever.

And Emilia, what the fuck is wrong with you. I already didn’t like her because of her attitude and how she stole her sisters fiancee without even one ounce of remorse, but as we finally get to the cat changing part she went full cuckoo land and she is crazy. Imagine that someone is just living their lives the way they want and you get jealous of that?

My heart absolutely broke for Marie as she was roaming the streets as a cat. The poor thing just didn’t know what to do, got bullied by people because she was “ugly”, I am sorry but I would have hugged that cat if I spotted it. Even though I am allergic. She looks so fluffy. And I love her spots.

I am glad that she met someone to take care of her, though I did have a big laugh as she was picked up by the guy she was supposed to marry, yup, the guy everyone fears so much. I loved that he took her home, gave her love, food, and care. And even a name!

I loved seeing Marie explore the grounds, discover more about the duke, about who he really is, listen in to conversations (and find out that the duke was really interested in her when she was a human), get love from other people (and food), see her react to when people call her ugly. I love seeing her figure out how to be a cat, how things worked for her. Haha, though she needs to work on her facial expressions, some just made me snort. Though I did feel for her, she wants to tell the duke she is Marie, that she is his fiancee, and that she wants to talk to him. But she can’t. I wonder if she is eventually able to do so or that she can change back short periods of time and that they together seek out a cure for her, or get rid of the sister, either works for me, haha.

Also on that note, hello can we do away with the trope of OMG he is a killer. He is ruthless. Look at his facial expressions. But in fact he isn’t so bad.

The art was really pretty, I both love the human character designs and how Chiffon/Marie is drawn.

So will I be reading the next one? Yes, because I need the duke to see that Chiffon/Marie is his fiancee, that she didn’t run away but is right here and in trouble. I am also curious if Marie will ever be able to get back to human again or if she will stay a cat forever, but I don’t think that is very likely. Despite the issues I had (Marie not being chubby, the duke not being a murderous creep, people calling the cat ugly), I still am happy that I was able to read this one!
