Return to the Cat Island — After the Tale

This is the sequel/continuation to the beloved classic 猫の島 (Cat Island), exploring the fate of the characters after the original tale ended.After their journey to the mysterious “Cat Island,” Naomi (ナオ) — once part‑cat — and her friends, including Mari and Sōta, face new challenges as time moves forward. Now adults, they must grapple with deep emotional bonds, the reality of change, and the bittersweet nature of life itself — including aging, separation, and the simple joy of being together again.Beautifully blending fantasy elements (like Naoki’s half‑cat identity) with grounded, human connection and life reflections, this volume is both a nostalgic revisit for longtime fans and a moving standalone story about love, memory, and the passage of time.
