Casa’s Nekomura san Hoshi Yoriko

The Super Housekeeper Cat Ms. Neco Nekomura (age 4), made popular through the best-selling graphic novel series “Today’s Ms. Nekomura”, has been sent from the Murata Housekeeping Agency to the offices of Casa BRUTUS Magazine to help out. These days she’s applying her paw in service to its mildly absurd editorial department, and now her tale’s in English too!

Profiles – From the Paw of Ms. Nekomura

Nekomura, Neco

When I first heard the name Casa I thought it was probably a foreign visitor, but it turns out to be a magazine publisher. I’m going to have to work hard to serve them well!
Mrs. Murata

It’s thanks to Mrs. Murata, who runs the housekeeping agency, that I’m gainfully employed. She loves magazines and knows all about the private lives of celebrities.
Mr. Casa

I guess this is what’s called “architecture”? At Mr. Casa’s there are stones on top. There’s a bicycle and a tricycle. I’ve heard they’re used for deliveries.
Editor-in-chief

Ms. Editor-in-Chief-of-STUFF is always ready with an, “…if you don’t mind...” She’s always very busy, always on her way. I take it she’s very chuffed about neckwear.
Deputy Editor-in-Chief

Mr. Deputy Editor Art House Director is really into his work, pumped, and masculine. He always wears tinted glasses, but I know his lower eyelashes are long.
Deputy Editor-in-Chief

Mr. Deputy Editor Nishida is so kind. Sometimes he favors me with extra sweets. His desktop is always well-organized. He must love tidiness.
Deputy Editor-in-Chief

Mr. Deputy Editor the Other One always wears the latest looks and has the air of someone who should be in a magazine. Total fashionista.
Mr. Business Casual

He tends to open his collar as wide as is feasible. On days off, a bit wider. To be frank, he’s quite proud of his chest hair.
Mr. Mitomi

I owe him everything. He introduced me here and he knows all about Mr. Casa, including the right way to tie books.
Mr. Part-timer

It must be pretty hard to attend school and work here. Just like me, he must have his “eyes on a prize”. He was kind to take me under his wing.
