A virus spreads across the world, transforming all humankind into wild, slavering, furry beasts: cats, to be precise. Those few survivors who remain human take refuge in the dark corners of the earth as they fight back against the feline horde. Kunagi, a man with no memory of his past yet a deep knowledge of cats, struggles to hold on with only his wits and a will to survive. Yet the virus transmits merely through cuddles, and Kunagi finds kitties so hard to resist! Is his willpower strong enough to withstand this hair-raising cat-tastrophe?
The manga debuted in Mag Garden's Comic Garden in October 2020. The manga's fifth compiled book volume shipped in Japan on February 22. Seven Seas Entertainment shipped the manga's fifth volume on October 22.
