Before Chocola and Vanilla became the confident catgirls running La Soleil, there's this quiet moment where they're still learning what it means to be wanted. The OVA captures something most prequels miss: the tenderness of a family forming, not the spectacle of it. You're watching two scared kittens discover safety in small gestures, in a household that's chosen them. It doesn't need plot or conflict to work. It just needs the warmth of people deciding to stay.
Before La Soleil opens its doors, there's a quieter story to tell. Six months earlier, Chocola and Vanilla are still kittens, newly arrived at the Minazuki household and not yet close to the other catgirls. They're not yet the companions who will work alongside Kashou at his future shop. As the youngest of the catgirls looked after by Kashou and Shigure, the pair grow up with Azuki, Maple, Cinnamon and Coconut, slowly coming to call Kashou "master." Along the way they share their first Christmas as a family and make a promise with Kashou. The single OVA episode is a gentle mix of comedy, romance and slice of life, centered on how the two youngest kittens settle into their new home.
