Synopsis
Unlucky Toma rescues a talking cat who becomes clingy, fulfilling his wish to be needed—just not like this.
From being dumped by the girl he liked to being passed over for a job, Toma hasn't been picked by anyone since he was a kid. One day on his way home from work, our good samaritan rescues a cat stuck in a tree. Little did he know the cat would follow him home and that he could talk! Said cat makes himself right at home and follows him everywhere. His new 'pet' is always at his side: the kitchen, the bedroom, even the bathroom... Toma always wanted to be needed, but not like this! (Source: France Shoin, translated)
