Take an exciting manga pop-up journey across Japan with Chico and Neko the Cat!

Pick up where Tokyo Pop-Up Book left off, as Chico and his mischievous cat Neko visit Japan's most famous landmarks. The chase is on as naughty Neko slips away yet again-this time becoming a stowaway on a Japanese bullet train! Using his phone to track his runaway cat, Chico follows Neko to some of Japan's most iconic places:

Mt. Fuji and the Big Buddha at Kamakura
Serene Kinkaku-ji, the Temple of the Golden Pavilion
Himeji Castle, an ancient Samurai fortress with its formidable stone ramparts
A sushi train restaurant, where an endless parade of fish is truly a cat's dream!
The Children's Peace Memorial in Hiroshima, where Chico pauses to reflect
The famous 'floating' Torii gate at Itsukushima
'Cat Island' (Tashirojima), where Neko finds a few new friends and the adventure comes to a happy conclusion!

Educational and entertaining in equal measure, this exciting manga pop-up book will be treasured by readers of all ages.
