Based on a script by the author of Old Boy and brought to life by the late manga genius Hirosuke Kizaki, Shoujo Nemu tells the moving story of Nemu, a young girl who dreams of becoming a manga artist. Even though people couldn’t tell because of her shyness, Nemu possesses extraordinary talent, but it’s not until her encounter with Goro, a veteran manga artist plagued with self-doubt, that she begins to realize the true nature of her passion. What follows is an unusual friendship that ends up changing both their lives. Aside from the impeccable artwork, what makes Shoujo Nemu special is the fact that all characters are cats. Even so, Kizaki manages to capture every human emotion in his characters’ expressions which is quite an achievement.
