Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

Based on a Twitter manga that went viral for capturing the specific delusion of cat owners everywhere. Japan's 'ojiichan' term for grandfathers carries warm, slightly ragged connotations—perfect for this scrappy found family.

Trivia

Mayumi Tanaka (Ojiichan) is legendary as One Piece's Luffy—hearing her go from pirate king energy to exhausted cat grandma is pure range.
