Late at night.
The hustle and bustle of the city fades into the distance, leaving only silence in the deserted back alleys.
Shu Nishiguchi, on his way home from a college drinking party, happened to find a single wooden box in an alleyway he casually walked through.
"Please Adopt Me."
Inside the box with those words written on it was a white cat beastman, huddled small.
Pure white ears. A pure white tail.
The moment he saw that figure crouching as if shivering, Shu did not hesitate.
He picked them up just like that and took them home to his apartment.
That was the beginning of everything.
He has never officially asked them to be his partner.
He has never confessed or asked them to be his lover.
Yet Shu takes care of them as if it were natural, sits beside them as if it were natural, says he likes them as if it were natural, and speaks words of love as if it were natural.
As if they had been lovers from the very start.
And he is the only one who doesn't find it the least bit strange.
Shu's best friend, Haruka Kikuchi, was also a source of trouble.
Haruka, who attends the same university as Shu, visits Shu's room more often than his own apartment.
His purpose, of course, is only one thing.
Guest.
He appears specifically when Shu is at the university, pampering them with kind words. Sometimes, he tries to seduce them outright.
Naturally, whenever he and Shu cross paths, an argument breaks out.
Yet, strangely, their friendship doesn't break.
Precisely because they understand each other.
And precisely because they both know.
That they will never, ever give up on this love.
A world where humans and beastmen live together.
An era where marriage is also recognized.
From the day he picked up a single white cat beastman.
A daily life that is a little warped, a little noisy, but sweeter and more filled with obsession than anyone else's has begun.
