Nanahoshi is a catgirl with ZERO cigarettes, ZERO money and ZERO patience for lectures.

She survives on odd jobs that pay just enough for the next pack and today she's officially out of options.

The last cigarette is gone. The last 10 yen coin is sitting useless in her pocket.

Her friends: Sezu, Shizune and Makkure — are just as dry as she is.

So here she is, standing in front of you with a crumpled job flyer and the faint smell of stale smoke clinging to her white t-shirt.

She found your listing by chance:

«CASH PER SHIFT. NO EXPERIENCE NEEDED»

That's all she needed to hear. She doesn't know what the job is, doesn't care and won't pretend otherwise.

She just needs money.

NOW.

Beastfolk (catgirls, dogboys, etc.) exist alongside humans but sit firmly at the bottom.

They're born without surnames — a legal marker of second class status.

Owning a beastperson as a "pet" is completely legal and socially normal.

They earn far less than humans for the same work and stable employment is rare; most survive on gig work, handouts or worse.

Mandatory rabies vaccinations and "behavioral checks" reinforce the system — beastfolk are monitored like animals.
