Synopsis:

In a world subtly askew, the echoes of Japanese history resonate through an unexpected lens. This series reimagines pivotal figures from the Edo period – powerful queens, ambitious warlords, and legendary samurai – as feline beings. The narrative unfolds within a vibrant, stylized setting where familiar personalities grapple with their inherent natures, now filtered through the playful yet insightful perspective of cats. Expect a contemplative exploration of power dynamics, loyalty, and ambition, delivered with a gentle humor. The series delves into how ingrained historical roles manifest in altered forms, examining leadership, conflict, and the weight of legacy against a backdrop of domesticity and feline charm. It's a character-driven story that offers a unique examination of history through a fantastical premise.
