My House Cat Became the Worlds Strongest?! (Manga) Vol. 1

When an ordinary man’s beloved pet cat is suddenly gifted with unbelievable abilities and made gigantic, their humdrum life is suddenly leveled up in this cat-tastic fantasy manga!

Tetsuya may have a terrible job, but there's a bright spot in his life: His beloved housecat, Tama. Imagine his shock when he comes home from work one day to find that Tama has suddenly grown to a gigantic size! Adventuring was just a dream for a normal guy like Tetsuya, but Tama leads him to a nearby dungeon and effortlessly takes down the boss.

From racing around at high speed to granting power-ups just by purring, the newly huge Tama has some equally outsized powers! Plus, when the two of them save a beautiful young streamer, their dungeon-clearing livestreams go viral. Now everyone has their eyes on this adorable and incredibly powerful housecat!
