While not exactly a manga title, Dayan's Birthday is a Japanese children's tale about a mischievous cat that captures the spirit, if not the panels of manga stories.

Dayan figures he'll try to get a birthday from the local trio of witches, but he doesn't take into account what the witches will want from him in return.
