Nakitai Watashi wa Neko wo Kaburu Story/Plot

It is a romantic fantasy story set in Tokoname-city in Aichi Prefecture. The protagonist is an eccentric second-year junior high school student Miyo Sasaki (Mirai Shida), nicknamed “Muge (Mugendai Nazo Ningen/Infinite Mystery Person)”.

She has tried to confess her love to her beloved classmate Kento Hinode (Natsuki Hanae), but she has been completely ignored. The only way she can be around him is to be a cat. While she can be with him only when she transforms into a cat, the line between herself as a human and herself as a cat gradually gets blurred.
