Nyanko Days
High school girl Tomoko Konagai is very shy and has few friends to talk with at school; she always thinks about her three cats: Ma the cheerful Munchkin, Ro the smart Russian Blue, and Shi the crybaby Singapura. Later, Tomoko befriends her classmate Azumi, another cat-loving girl who owns a Turkish Angora named Elza.
