Impression: This is the story of an average teenager who has been cursed because he broke a guardian deity’s statue. The curse entails that he must do 100 good deeds for cats or else he’ll be turned into a cat himself. The curse also has him becoming able understand what cats are saying so he can listen to their requests. Unfortunately, he is terribly allergic to cats while the girl who he has a crush on loves them to bits. As you can see there’s plenty of joke material available in this manga and the author knows how make use of it. The characters are interesting too and it’s nice to see a love comedy where the main girl actually learns of the guy’s feelings instead of being completely oblivious(Of course, someone had to tell her first). I do sympathize with the guy though. I don’t like going anywhere near cats but they are annoyingly fond of me for some reason. Dogs also seem to have some sort respect(?) for me and birds are completely terrified of me. Humans vary from person to person but the genPost Optionseral consensus is that they like me.
