Cat Massage Therapy follows Nekoyama and his co-workers as they discover a massage parlor run by cats. These cats use adorably cute massage techniques to sooth not only their physical aches but their emotional ones too.

Sitting thinner than most manga volumes, Cat Massage Therapy makes up for it by being taller than the average volume and fully coloured. The art inside is well-drawn, accentuating how cute the cats are and the reactions of those that meet them.

As you would expect from the synopsis, the story is barebones, instead choosing to focus on how the cats use their massage techniques to help others relax. This isn't a bad thing as it insteads chooses to be a light, sweet story to help the reader unwind after a rough day. Just don't expect much development of the story or its characters.

Final Say: Cat Massage Therapy is a cute, but shallow story. Good for pure fluff and sweetness but don't expect anything deeper.
