Synopsis:

Set on a secluded southern island, the series explores an unusual and deeply personal connection. The narrative centers around the unlikely genesis of a "nekozakana," a being formed from the union of a fish and a cat. This fantastical origin story serves as a backdrop for examining themes of identity, belonging, and unconventional relationships.

The atmosphere is contemplative, focusing on quiet moments and subtle interactions within a unique ecosystem. Characters navigate questions of selfhood while grappling with societal perceptions of their existence. The anime offers a thoughtful exploration of acceptance and the potential found in bridging seemingly disparate worlds, presenting a gently surreal experience that prioritizes emotional resonance over high-octane action. It invites reflection on what defines an individual and the bonds that can form across boundaries.
