Synopsis
Umeya befriends shy neighbor Sakura while using a secret cat as an excuse to visit daily.
In the eyes of his friends, Shou Umeya has been acting strange lately—as soon as classes end for the day, he rushes home. They assume there is a girl who is taking up all his time, but Shou has a different interest: hanging out with the adorably awkward Yoshiharu "Sakura" Sakuragaoka. The fateful encounter that brought them together is when Sakura came looking for a black cat that found its way to Umeya. Apologetic and desperate, Sakura begs Umeya not to tell their landlord he is housing a pet. Ever since then, Umeya has protected Sakura's secret on the condition that he is free to visit and play with his cat at any time. However, the cat soon becomes nothing but an excuse, and the only one Umeya wishes to see is his self-conscious yet endearing new neighbor.
