Instructions: Make head starting from tips of ears and closing at the botom. Make tail starting from tip. Make chocolate parts and cut them into more round shapes. Body is the trickiest part of the model. Make legs. Start building body from the top left detail on the last page and keep going clockwise, attaching legs when possible. Close with hourglass like shaped detail and try to make seams closer to the donut hole look decent, top part isn't very important because it will be covered by chocolate anyway. While donut part itself is actually quite easy and repetitive, it also very easy to misalign and end up with a very weird looking crooked donut, so be careful ~
Notes: Donyatsu is a cat. Donyatsu is a donut. Donyatsu (どーにゃつ) is a manga by Kozaki Yusuke about daily life of pastry animals in post apocaliptic world. Donyatsu is yet another reminder why I love Japan so much ~

Instructions: Make first part of the head (one with teeth), then make inner mouth part and glue it in place. Continue building head, attach ears when possible. After head is done start making body going from neck and closing model at tip of the tail ~
Notes: Kuro (黒) is a very nice and cute manga by Somato (ソウマトウ). The story is about litlle girl named Coco and her cat Kuro. Mostly it's just Kuro being Kuro or cat doing cat things. It ends, in my opinion, somewhat abrubtly, and I personally would like to see it last a bit longer and see this world explored a bit more, but it's still worth reading ~
