Described by Wizard magazine as "Japan's version of Garfield, Heathcliff, and Krazy Kat all rolled into one," What's Michael? is graphic fiction like no other, blending slice-of-life comedy, both subtle and slapstick, with off-the-wall flights of fancy. But whether the situations are believable or bizarre, the giggles are real and rapid-fire. From the horror of guests who won't leave to Michael's night on the town, all paths lead to laughs!

Makoto Kobayashi (小林 まこと, Kobayashi Makoto) is a Japanese manga artist. Kobayashi's professional career in comics started in 1978, when he won the 'Shōnen magazine New manga artist' award for his work Grapple Three Brothers. Over the years Kobayashi has published a number of sport manga, specifically about Judo, starting from his first serialised work Sanshiro of 1, 2 (1981-1984), winner of the 1981 'Kodansha Manga Award'. However, his best known comic book, especially in the West, is What's Michael? (1984-1989), a humour strip about an orange cat, for which Kobayashi won another 'Kodansha Manga Award' in 1986.
