With over 110 million downloads worldwide, the mega-hit game The Battle Cats gets its first ever brand-new, fully original picture book!
Think it’s the usual “Monkey and Crab” folktale? Think again.
In this story, a genius child-actor Cat and Monkey get into a fight one day. Cat declares, “From now on, it’s music, meow!” and an angry Monkey hurls a persimmon. Before long, Cat becomes a star as KANI, the “Scream King,” in the heavy metal band SaruKani Heaven—but the glory doesn’t last forever…?
“KONTON” is introduced as a magic word for accepting each other. It’s a moving story of friendship hidden behind “evolution,” meant to bring readers to tears. Familiar Battle Cats characters appear throughout, and the book is drawn in a nostalgic style—perfect as a gift.
