- SynopsisHaru Yoshioko is an unremarkable schoolgirl with a clumsy disposition. When she risks her life to help a small black cat that has dangerously crossed a busy road, she is surprised when he stands up, brushes himself off and politely thanks her. A night-time visit from the King of Cats and his entourage ensues and she discovers that she saved the life of his son, Prince Lune. Untold feline rewards follow including deliveries of gift-wrapped mice direct to her school locker, pussy willows in the front garden and, the ultimate treat, an offer of the paw of the cat prince in marriage. Understandably alarmed at this fate, Haru travels to the Kingdom of Cats where a number of dangers await her. (Synopsis)
