Synopsis:

Junpei Kousaka's life is complicated by a pervasive dislike of cats, amplified by his environment filled with feline enthusiasts. His world shifts dramatically when an accidental mishap involving a cat deity statue grants him the ability to understand cats – a power tied to a dangerous curse. Revealing this ability to anyone risks them sharing his fate: increased clumsiness and the same burden of understanding the secret language of felines.

Now, guided by a peculiar feline companion, Junpei is compelled to perform a series of good deeds for cats. Failure to do so means a literal transformation into one, an outcome particularly dire given his severe allergy. The series explores themes of responsibility, acceptance, and navigating unexpected connections within a world subtly interwoven with the mystical and the everyday.
