デキる猫は今日も憂鬱 / The Masterful Cat is Depressed Again Today
Summary
A sweetly comedic manga about a cat who cooks, cleans, and succeeds at adulting more than the woman who expected him to be a pet!
Saku is an ordinary young woman who works long hours and lives alone with her cat, Yukichi. Yukichi, however, is not an ordinary house cat. For one, the temperamental feline towers over Saku and walks around on two legs. Instead of playing with toy mice, he scours supermarket flyers for good deals and keeps the house spotless. With a pet like that, it’s hard to tell who’s taking care of who!

Personal Opinion
I came across the English version of this manga and thought it looked like a good level for beginners! It’s episodic, and is comedic slice of life with no romance, and a cat! The first 3 pages are actually a bit more wordy than the rest of the book. Overall it seems to be text light.
