Manga Synopsis
Seven Seas Entertainment is publishing the manga in English and describes the story as follows:
A virus spreads across the world, transforming all humankind into wild, slavering, furry beasts—cats, to be precise. The few survivors who remain human take refuge in the dark corners of the earth, fighting to stay alive against the feline horde.
Kunagi, a man with no memory of his past but an uncanny knowledge of cats, struggles to endure with only his wits and willpower. However, the virus spreads through mere cuddles, and Kunagi finds cats incredibly hard to resist! Can he hold out against this hair-raising cat-tastrophe?
The manga debuted in Comic Garden, published by Mag Garden, in October 2020. The sixth compiled volume was released in Japan on February 21, while Seven Seas Entertainment published the fifth English volume on October 22.
