MC is an introvert bookworm and author. MC parents die. A stray cat is separated from its younger siblings. MC adopts a stray cat. and life slowly starts changing for both of them become a family.
We are reminded of the sob story of dead parents and separated siblings in every episode. Lots of flashbacks. Both the MC and cat act like tragedy heroines suffering from past trauma. This is annoying at times. we do get to see all kinds of warm memories of both MC and the cat, so it is still worth it at the end.
I would not call it the best SoL. But it is definitely not bad. There are plenty of warm fuzzy moments which are the main source of attraction for SoL. The cat is also super fun, and its reactions towards other characters give us a lot of cute and funny moments.
Characters
well.. everyone is nice, as you may expect from such SoL stories. You could say that the lack of a decent set of side characters is why this show remains mediocre throughout.
The cat carries the show. Although, it is better to think of this cat as a human child, as it is humanized a LOT and barely resembles a real cat.
MC is an introvert and frankly, a pretentious loner. He can barely take care of himself. He overreacts to everything and brings down the enjoyment of the show a lot.
I won't recommend this for everyone. But if you are a fan of SoL, this is worth watching for the cat. This had great potential, but it could never utilize its strong setting. Just adding a romance plot, slightly better/proactive MC, Cat playing with other animals and so on would have made this show feel much better.
