Japan. From time immemorial, there are those who possess superhuman abilities.
These beings who looked like a cross between man and beast are called Demi-Humans.

These cats approached our hero with their loving aura in full bloom.
Their adorability and will causes our hero to be taken by them.
But how will he support them? How on earth do you use ninja in this day and age?

But who is spying on them from the shadows…?
