Wander further into the garden, and you'll find close siblings upset by a love rival; a jaded delinquent flustered by a trusting bookworm; an evasive, glasses-hating man; and a president eager to find a weakness in his perfect secretary.
For both cat and human, the quest for love is here!

When Fuji miraculously acquires a human body, and Hiro finds him, the past interferes in their future.

2. At Home Holiday Lover
Shima, the other cat, quietly lets go as he watches Fuji and Hiro and begins searching for a place to call his.
