Synopsis

Based on the novel of the same name by Ishida Syou, this story follows Shibata Masaki, a career-driven woman working as a sales team leader with a packed schedule. At work, her handsome junior colleague Yashiro has feelings for her, but Masaki holds herself back, using the gap in their age and position as an excuse not to take the leap. Then, out of nowhere, her ex-boyfriend from three years ago drops off a cat with an indeterminate age and a slightly unattractive face: a tabby named Yomichi, asking her to “look after him for just two months.”
Yomichi is no ordinary cat — he can sense human emotions through scent and, speaking in a Kansai dialect, cuts straight to the heart of Masaki’s love life. Nudged along by Yomichi’s candid feline wisdom, Masaki slowly begins to close the distance between herself and Yashiro. And before long, the real reason her ex left the cat in her care is finally revealed.
