The Cat Proposed

The Cat Proposed

Finished

化け猫かたって候

Matoi Souta is a salaryman worn down by the relentless grind of his office job, his spirit as exhausted as his body. One evening, on a whim to escape his monotonous routine, he stops to watch a traditional koudan storytelling performance. Amid the nostalgic atmosphere, he is stunned to see the charismatic storyteller, Kihachi Toujou, briefly manifest the ears of a cat.

This fleeting vision shatters Souta's ordinary world, for Kihachi is a bakeneko, a shapeshifting cat spirit from folklore. By witnessing his true form, Souta has violated a sacred law that demands his death—a fate that also awaits Kihachi for the exposure. The only loophole to escape this doom is a binding and ancient solution: Souta must become Kihachi's spouse.
