    Synopsis:

    Haru Yoshioka's ordinary life takes an unexpected turn when she rescues Prince Lune of the Cat Kingdom. The grateful monarch extends an invitation – and a series of peculiar gifts – leading to a misunderstanding that Haru is betrothed to Lune. Attempting to navigate this bizarre situation, Haru discovers a cryptic message urging her to find the elusive Cat Bureau. Her search leads her to the kingdom, but not without unforeseen consequences; she's swept away by feline forces alongside the bureau's enigmatic Baron Humbert von Gikkingen.

    Within the Cat Kingdom’s unique society, Haru begins to experience unsettling physical and emotional transformations, blurring the lines between human and cat. The story explores themes of identity and belonging as Haru races against time to rediscover herself before succumbing entirely to her feline side. The narrative unfolds with a blend of whimsical humor and introspective moments, charting a journey of self-acceptance amidst a world governed by peculiar customs and ancient traditions.
