A Tokyo kid gets dropped in Nagoya and immediately becomes an anthropologist studying one girl's dialect like it's a living creature. Yatogame speaks in a regional accent so thick and specific that the entire show becomes a comedy of linguistic territory, watching her resist his outsider curiosity with cat-like indifference. The humor never punches up or down, it just sits there, warm and patient, finding comedy in the smallest gap between what someone says and how they say it.
High school student Jin Kaito grew up in Tokyo, but after moving to Nagoya he meets Yatogame Monaka, a fellow student with a cat-like look who speaks in a thick, unfiltered Nagoya dialect. Yatogame refuses to warm up to him at all. Adapted from Andou Masaki's four-panel manga, the short-format comedy is a slice-of-life series that celebrates Nagoya by watching the adorable Yatogame.
