Cat Ninja: The Heart of a Hero Volume 6

Cat Ninja can protect Metro City—or spend time with the boy who needs him most—but lately he cannot seem to do both. As Octopunch gets the glory and Claude’s nonstop hero duties leave Leon feeling forgotten, Cat Ninja considers retiring for good. Then a pet-control villain begins kidnapping every animal in the city, forcing Claude to discover what truly lies at the heart of a hero.

It’s nonstop crime time in Metro City, and the hero the city needs is… Octopunch? Even an eight-armed avenger can’t keep the streets safe by himself, though, so Cat Ninja’s spending all his time catching crooks—and no time curled up with his family. When he realizes that Leon needs him more than Metro City does, it might be time to hang up the nunchucks. But with a brand-new baddie kidnapping every pest and pet in town, can our hero really afford to cat nap?
