What's next for Chi's Sweet Home

  • The Complete Chi's Sweet Home: The same story gathered into four larger books from July 2015 to December 2016. They hold the same twelve volumes, so you don't need both.
  • Chi's Sweet Adventures: A four-volume sequel of short gags from Kodansha USA, 2018 to 2019, in the same world.

Do you have to read Chi's Sweet Home in order?

Read the twelve volumes in number order if you can. The story follows one kitten from the day she gets lost to her settling in with a new family and later a move, and a few funny moments pay off only if you saw what came earlier. The English volumes turn left to right, so they read like an ordinary picture book from the front cover. The manga is finished: volume 12 came out in English in 2015.

What age is Chi's Sweet Home for?

Eight is where Kodansha's All Ages label starts; twelve is Peabody's own estimate. Neither is a reading level. The story is told mostly in pictures with very few words, so a younger child can follow it, but the manga is for grown-up readers in Japan and the humor is about family life and pet owners. We don't print reading-level scores: they belong to the companies that make them.
