MANGA: Wandering Cat's Cage Chapter 08, by Akane Torikai

Wandering Cat's Cage returns with the first chapter of Book Two! It's a chapter that's free-to-read for everyone, so you can get a taste of what's coming up in the latter part of this series.

Hello everyone, and welcome back to Akane Torikai’s Wandering Cat’s Cage. This week’s installment is chapter 8, and it’s also the first chapter of Book Two! We’re making this chapter free for everyone to read, just like Chapter 01 below.
In this opening chapter, we learn more about what’s going on, in the city on the other side of the river from the slums where Reiho and Sanada live.

Chapter 01 (Free) | 02 | 03 | 04 | 05 | 06 | 07

This week’s chapter also features a number of double-page spreads, which will look a lot better either on the MSX website.

This week, the slow burn of Wandering Cat’s Cage ignites, and we will spend the next few weeks rocketing through to the conclusion. It’s going to be an incredible ride and we’re thrilled to be sharing it with you. On behalf of creator Akane Torikai, translator Jocelyne Allen, letterer Sara Linsley, and editor Deb Aoki, we hope you enjoy this volume of Wandering Cat’s Cage.

If you love this story, don’t forget that it too will get a print release from Fantagraphics in late 2024, so keep an eye out for that, and pre-order it when it’s available!
