Synopsis

Two former classmates reunite, care for an abandoned cat, and forge a unique non-romantic bond.

Takeda and Arita have not met since they graduated high school. That is, until they run into each other one rainy day and end up caring for an abandoned cat together. Thus, their relationship begins to shift. Without a shred of romantic feelings, they have no reason to be living together—but even so, they both want to stay by the other's side. What answer will they reach as they search for their own special relationship that goes beyond labels? (Source: Kobunsha, translated)
