Embark on an exciting manga pop-up adventure through Tokyo--the world's largest city!

Follow Chico, a young American boy, and his mischievous cat Neko as they navigate the streets and famous sights of Tokyo. On arriving in Tokyo, while visiting the city's famous Senso-ji Temple, Chico nods off due to jetlag. Neko gets bored and decides to go sightseeing on her own. Then, the race is on--as a panicked Chico chases his cat across the city! In the process, they pass through Tokyo's most iconic landmarks, each with its own interactive and manga pop-up fun:
  • POP-UP Senso-ji in Asakusa--Tokyo's ancient Buddhist temple, where the adventure begins.
  • POP-UP A rousing Sumo match still in progress.
  • POP-UP Bustling Shinjuku Station, where riders get stuffed into subway cars by professional "pushers."
  • POP-UP Tokyo Skytree tower, the tallest structure in Japan, where poor Neko has a very close call!
  • The base of iconic Mt. Fuji, where the adventure has a happy conclusion!

Educational and entertaining in equal measure, this delightful manga pop-up book will be treasured by young and old readers alike. It makes a fantastic gift or carry-on for anyone planning a visit to Japan.
