Renowned Japanese IG illustrator KORIRI ventures into the most adorable crossover as Chef Mario serves up a yummy meal in a fictional world of kittens!
In this adorably illustrated whimsical and imaginary cat world, cats lead lives much like humans, each with distinct roles, personalities, and professions.
Chef Mario, with his round and endearing demeanour, has turned his restaurant into a colourful and sought-after dining destination. During peak hours, a line forms outside the restaurant, with customers – all cats, of course – eagerly waiting.
To cope with the demand, Chef Mario even put up a "Now Hiring" sign, though the candidates must possess one essential skill: not stealing food!
Step inside the restaurant to witness Chef Mario's culinary ingenuity and business savvy, with his complimentary cat grass, free wood sorrel add-ons, tempting new dish advertisements, lunch specials, and a menu for both dine-in or takeout – a marketing strategy that rivals any human-run establishment.
However, one day, Chef Mario faces a minor crisis. Customers discover their dishes have been sampled by someone – there's a tiny bite missing! What will Chef Mario do?
With beautiful illustrations and expert storytelling, readers are transported into the charming world of Chef Mario and his devoted partner Mikan, as they navigate the hustle and bustle of running a whimsical cat-friendly restaurant.
