Summary:

Cat Street is a story about a child star Keito who lost her voice on stage staring into the faces of the audience’s. She locked herself in her room for years never once going back to school, outside her room, or her house. When one day she decided to walk around her neighborhood to get out of her house, unexpectedly she ran into an old fan who recognized her as the child star who lost her voice. Who is this mysterious boy who remembers her from the past? Why did Keito lose her voice on stage? Was she that great of a child actor to be noticed many years later?

The Good

Pictures and story: Cat Street is a well drawn manga, you can really understand the precise bodily form of the characters  (what I mean is the shape of the bodies of every character).  The background is brilliant, like any other manga it’s well designed.   You can tell what is actually the background and not be confuzzled trying to figure it out.

How Well Drawn: By looking at the cover of the manga I thought the drawing was lacking a little (from my point of view).  As I read a couple pages I started to become enthralled with the well drawn pictures while the story progressed. I wanted to find out what exactly happened to this great child star actress that would make her so traumatized.  She couldn’t even leave her own room for years after it happened.  Taking just a simple walk around the block made her want to see  more of the world.

Dialogue: After reading just a bit of dialogue, I saw how the main character, Keito, was an optimist and a great actress that can handle any and every role given to her. At some points in the manga, you begin to wonder what exactly is going on.  You kind of lose what they are saying, until you get pulled back to the present by the drama.

The Bad

Pictures and Story: I have nothing to say about the drawings.   If you want to say something about them, please tell me what you think. The story in my opinion kind of seemed a bit emptied after a while, especially when the main character loses her love interest.

How Well Drawn: overall there’s nothing really bad about the pictures.

Dialogue: At some points I started to think that the dialogue was a bit empty and unimportant.

Overall

I thought it was an ok drama manga with the people acting terrible or acceptable in it [Jules & Windy confused].   Read it and find out what I mean.  It’s great for beginners in the drama manga department.  I rate this a three out of five
