I feel like anime about pets is an easy win. What more unifying thing do we all share than our love for our pets? And My Roommate is a Cat explores just that. Furthermore, it is made even more wholesome with its split focus of a man taking care of a cat and the cat thinking she is taking care of her person.

Where To Start The My Roommate is a Cat Manga After The Anime?
You can start the My Roommate is a Cat manga after the anime at Chapter 44 if you are reading the webcomic version (that you will find fan translated on less legal sites) and Chapter 16 if you are reading the official release.
The official release combines the Subaru and Haru sides of each story, so the chapter number is cut down significantly. It also appears to be rearrange some things, if not omitting them.
The anime adapts through Volume 5 of the official release.
What to Expect From The My Roommate is a Cat Manga?
The My Roommate is a Cat anime actually surpassed the manga when it was airing. So, as such, Subaru’s trip to Tokushima and Haru running away in Episode 11 and 12 are anime-original and has not yet happened in the manga, if it will at all.
I say “yet” because the anime creators clearly had some input from the author on upcoming events in the manga since the anime shows the flashback to Haru’s life on the streets after where the anime stopped adapting. So you will see that part, which was in the anime, later on in the manga.
Alongside that, the anime does skip a few smaller things, re-arrange some events, and leaves out some omake chapters. However, it does cover the core story pretty great, so it isn’t strictly necessary to read the My Roommate is a Cat manga from the beginning unless you want to.
Is The My Roommate is a Cat Manga Over?
The My Roommate is a Cat manga is still ongoing. Since launching in 2015, it releases about a volume per year.
Will There Be A My Roommate is a Cat Season 2?
Unfortunately, with the anime coming out in 2019 and the manga not having enough content for another season, even now in 2024, it seems unlikely that will we ever see a My Roommate is a Cat Season 2.
