Kodoani.com – Mag Garden revealed on February 22 (also cat day in Japan) that the manga Night of the Living Cat of Hawkman and Mecha-Roots (also written under the name Nyaight of the Living Cat) is being adapted into an anime series, scheduled to air in 2025. The anime’s official website has aired a teaser trailer for the project.
Seven Seas Entertainment is releasing the manga in English and describes the story as follows:
A virus spreads across the world, turning every human into wild, enslaved, furry cats. The few survivors still managed to fight off the cats, seeking shelter in the dark corners of the earth. Kunagi, a man who does not remember his past but has extensive knowledge of cats, struggles to survive using only his wits and strong will. But the virus is only spread through hugging, and Kunagi must face scary kittens! Is his will strong enough to cope with this cat wave?
The manga launched in Mag Garden’s Comic Garden magazine in October 2020. The manga’s fifth volume was published in Japan on February 22.
