Features: Rose is the name of a kitten and the protagonist of this book. Although it has a beautiful, flower-like name and a lovely fiery red coat, because it was born into a black cat family known for its sleek, shiny fur, its childhood was far from rosy. Look at this page—it’s the moment when Lord Guan turns around in surprise to see Rose. Although it is the focal point of the scene, placed in the lower right corner of the frame with skewed perspective, it is clearly in a disadvantageous position. Even we can clearly feel the invisible pressure it is experiencing. Compared to the other four littermates, Rose is much thinner, with a pointed chin, making it impossible not to feel sympathy for it. As if that wasn’t enough, the artist further emphasizes this impression with color. Look—the dark blue tone is cold and oppressive, contrasting sharply with the warm yellow light filtering in from the window of another household outside.
