What is Nekogami Yaoyorozu?#
If you are looking for a blend of the mundane and the mystical, Nekogami Yaoyorozu (also known as Everyday Tales of a Cat God) is a title that fits the bill. Falling into the comedy, slice of life, and supernatural genres, this series offers a lighthearted look at the interactions between humans and the divine, specifically through the lens of a cat god.
For those who enjoy relaxing stories with a supernatural twist, this series is a great choice. You can buy Nekogami Yaoyorozu merchandise to bring a bit of that supernatural charm into your own home.
Is the Anime Really Finished?#
When deciding whether to commit to the anime, the biggest question is usually whether the story reaches a satisfying conclusion. The anime adaptation, Everyday Tales of a Cat God, aired from July 9, 2011, to September 24, 2011.
However, it is important to note that the original manga continued well after the anime’s broadcast, with news confirming that the Nekogami Yaoyorozu manga ended in Japan on August 6, 2012. Because the source material concluded nearly a year after the anime finished airing, viewers who watch only the anime may find themselves wanting more. To get the full, definitive conclusion of the story, you will likely need to continue with the source material.
