On her way home after being dumped by her boyfriend of seven years, Kaoru Honda picks up a black lump that appears to be a cat. However, its true identity turns out to be a strange creature that speaks human language, enjoys drinking alcohol, and insists he is a cat. Kaoru names him "Modoki" and decides they will live together. As they share a home, her worn-out daily life gradually begins to change. Winner of the Grand Prize at the 6th AlphaPolis Light Literature Awards, this slightly funny and heartwarming, fluffy, relaxing story is a highly anticipated manga adaptation.
