The story is simple: a girl named Miyu moves out of her house to live with her black cat and her friend while struggling to find a job.
What makes this short series so special, then? Well, everything is seen through Daru, her cat.
There's worry in his thoughts, there's admiration, there's care, there's warmth, there's love. Daru loves Miyu. He stays close to her when she's sad and worried, he does everything he can as a cat to not make her feel alone and he's proud of her for doing her best through hard times.
The mood of tenderness and affection created by Daru directed towards Miyu is expressed in such a realistic and nice way that I cried watching every episode and kept going even after the episode had ended. The art, the colors, the sound, the camerawork, the characters... Everything helps conveying this mood and you can truly feel it in any moment.
I gave this anime a 10 because I personally don't feel like it deserves any less. Every second of watching Daru was worth it.
