From Publishers Weekly
Based on Erin Hunter's popular novel series, Warriors is the story of a wild cat—a real one, as opposed to manga's usual teenaged human wearing a short skirt and kitty-cat ears—who's separated from his family and friends. There are no plot surprises in this story of a lost hero, and the artwork is a literal, workmanlike rendition of cats and dogs in suburbia. Graystripe, the protagonist, is a mighty warrior of the beleaguered Thunderclan, which has recently been threatened by a combination of suburban development and a zealous cat catcher. The story opens with him imprisoned in a strangely seductive suburban home. After briefly succumbing to the charms of soft living as a kittypet, Graystripe steels his resolve and vows to make his way back to the wild. Alas, he's lost his edge and finds himself spooked by everything from local bullies to lawnmowers. Luckily, he's joined by a helpful, attractive female sidekick, Millie, who knows her way around the challenges of Twolegplace. Many little (and perhaps some larger) girls will find this kitty fantasy irresistible. (May)

Kids Will Love This Manga Series!
I read it easily and enjoyed it. I think kids will enjoy it too. A feral cat is caught by humans and tries to get back to his clan. MIllie, his new girlfriend goes back with him.

Pseudo-manga for Warriors fans
This manga series looks to be a pleasant addition to the ever-expanding Warriors universe.

The story takes place sometime after the end of the first Warriors series - Firestar is the head of Thunderclan, and Graystripe is his deputy. While attempting to defend his clan against two-legged builders who are destroying the camp, Graystripe is catnapped and turned into a kittypet. Though still pining for Silverstream, he is intrigued by Misty, a kittypet he meets while in captivity. Will Graystripe return to Thunderclan, or has he become too comfortable with kittypet life and Misty?

This is not true manga despite the Tokyopop label, (the book reads from left to right and from front to back) but rather is an illustrated spin-off of the Warriors series. However, the books are quick and enjoyable reads for Warriors fans.

Great Work Erin Hunter!!
First of all i have a question about graystripe's drawing. Why does he have a mohawk? Besides that it was great, I was a little disapointed because you couldn't really see what Brightheart really looked like. But i think that was for the best because if you think about it, the real warriors books put a picture in the readers' minds and they probably don't really want to see what she really looks like. I might add that this book is more of a kids book, so it wouldn't be good for kids to see the violence that really goes on in a warrior's life. I think Erin Hunter wanted to stay away from the graphical stuff about the fighting as much as possible.
