UsaNeko

UsaNeko App for iPhone
     Usagi/ウサギ (Rabbit) + Neko/猫 (Cat) = UsaNeko.  These are the two main characters of this cute collection of web comics.
     Now, as you can tell from the title and the launch screen to the right, this application is in Japanese.  This 'can' be an issue.  however, there is a bright side.  Many of the comics do not have any text on them.  A lot of these comics are visual story telling rather than using words to explain the scene.  So even without being able to read them, a lot of these pages can be enjoyed by everyone.
     These comics show the silly antics of a rabbit and a cat.  Even though many times cat chase rabbits, these two seem to be good friends.  Though they do fight from time to time.  As all good friends do.
     The icons at the bottom of the screen will take you to different areas of the application. The rabbit icon is for the comics.  You can view them as a title list, by clicking the title of the comic you wish to view.  Alternatively you can simply click the forward or backward buttons to view the previous or next comic on the list.  Swipe down the screen to view the panels from top to bottom, while viewing.
     The Cat heat icon will take you to a character list where you can learn about the characters from the comic (This is also in Japanese).
     The dog head icon (Yes, that is a dog head silhouette) takes you to a collection of wallpapers with artwork from the comics and characters within.  You can see some samples in the screen capture to the right.  They are very cute and can be used as backgrounds for your smart phone.  There is even one specifically for your lock screen.
     The rice ball will take you to the website.information.
     There are ads at the bottom of this application, but nothing inappropriate that I have noticed.  it also does not cause any complications with using the application.  I have noticed some app banners will cover parts of the app.  This app does not have that issue.  So I am not bothered by the ads at all.
     I really enjoyed this fun comic strips and even if you don't have the ability to read Japanese, I feel like you can still enjoy them.  So I recommend this.
