Episode 5 Story

Imoko's operation to make Yanineko quit smoking has begun. Any hidden cigarettes are confiscated. Any cigarettes found are also confiscated. Even so, Yanineko refuses to give up. After all, she loves nicotine... Around that time, a slightly youthful moment was also taking place around Imoko. However, rest assured. This is Chainsmoker Cat. In the end, she just loves nicotine...

Introduction

In a world where humans and beastfolk coexist, lives Yanineko (Chainsmoker Cat)—a beastfolk cat who spends her days smoking and lazing around.

No money! No survival skills! A total good-for-nothing! She has thrown away her manners and morals right along with her cigarette butts. She is reeking of smoke, dirty, lazy, and a complete piece of trash. Inhaling, exhaling, gossiping, and burning out—and yet, she manages to live a reasonably fulfilling life in her own way. It gets pretty gross, but somehow, it leaves you feeling just a tiny bit encouraged!

The manga that went absolutely viral across social media is now making an unexpected leap to a TV anime adaptation! If it ends up being too wild to broadcast, sorry 'bout that!

Please sit back, relax, and softly look after the smoke-filled daily lives brought to you by these somehow lovable, trashy cats.
