Two cats under a kotatsu are more honest about loneliness than any human character needs to be. They watch a hikikomori kid fumble toward a girl he'll never reach, and somehow that becomes the entire show, not because anything dramatic happens, but because the show knows that nothing happening is the point. A quiet joke about wanting connection so badly you'd rather stay under a blanket with cats.

Beneath a kotatsu in a Tokyo apartment, two cats share a cozy hideaway. Shito is a girlish white cat, and Zero is a cool black cat. Their owner, Rei "Junior" Fujisaki, is a third-year middle schooler who shuts himself away and lives for games. He has a crush on a girl in his class but can't find the courage to tell her. Shito, meanwhile, quietly carries a one-sided love of her own. The short-form comedy adapts a 2006 live-action film of the same name, and its run stopped at 26 episodes.
