The Cat Returns

One ordinary afternoon transforms into an extraordinary adventure for high schooler Haru, whose simple act of kindness toward a stray cat plunges her headfirst into a world she never knew existed. When the grateful feline reveals himself to be the Prince of the Cat Kingdom, Haru finds herself whisked away to a fantastical realm where cats walk on two legs, speak human languages, and have a rather peculiar idea of showing appreciation. As the lines between her reality and this whimsical, whiskered world begin to blur, Haru discovers she's not just a guest – she's a candidate for an unexpected royal marriage. With her very identity at stake and the threat of becoming irrevocably feline looming, Haru must navigate this enchanting yet bewildering land to find her way home before she's permanently entangled in the Cat Kingdom's elaborate affairs.
