recap: Ed & Ecchi is a short 40 pages comic in full color I did last year. It is published in Best New Manga 3, which is a 512 pages full color book, that can double as a blunt weapon, featuring short stories by various comic creators.
There’s a few reviews of the book floating around. Here’s some of them that mentioned Ed & Ecchi by name. Follow the link for full review of the whole book:

The strongest stories are haunting and sweet, particularly Paul Harrison-Davies’ “My Robot” in which a sad-eyed robot toils to serve his cruel master, yearning for some simple appreciation and affections, and Shari Chankhamma’s touching “Ed & Ecchi,” in which a stray cat leads a double life to provide comfort to two very different masters.

“Ed and Ecchi”- A young man in a society ruled by cruelty and bureacracy befriends a small cat he named Ecchi. But will the cat be his salvation from the cruelty all around him?
Shari Chankhamma goes for a painted look in the post-apocalyptic “Ed & Ecchi: Me and My Food,” starring a guy and his cat trying to remain happy while it’s all CHILDREN OF MEN-y outside.
Sad news is that there won’t be new issue for BNM this year (and possibly thereafter). I don’t know if I will ever get a chance to have full color comic published again, considering the current economic climate, but I do have plans for short stories that take place in same universe as Ed & Ecchi, (like ‘Straight on Till Morning‘). Maybe one day I’ll be able to release a compilation of them in one form or another. Wish me luck!

I like the way Xenon aka Ecchi was drawn. He looks like a real cuddly kitty!
