The whole concept of turning into a cat just to be loved without any human drama is super relatable. The lesson about facing your problems instead of hiding behind a mask was spot on. :)

Synopsis
Miyo Sasaki is an energetic high school girl who comes from a broken family consisting of her unconfident father and an overly invested stepmother, whose attempts at connecting with Miyo come across as bothersome. Seeing Kento Hinode as a refuge from all her personal issues, she cannot help herself from forcing her unorthodox demonstrations of love onto her crush. While Miyo is unable to get Kento's attention as herself, she manages to succeed by interacting with him in the form of a white cat, affectionately nicknamed "Tarou" by Kento. But Miyo soon realizes that she cannot help Kento with the various problems she overhears in her cat form and is now caught between two tough choices. Will she continue her relationship with him as a cat, or will she reveal her identity and risk what they have in order to help him as her human self? [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Una película que destaca por su animación y calidad visual, con mucho detalle y un estilo colorido, así como también por su banda sonora emotiva que logra transmitir lo que sienten los personajes a lo largo de la película. Aunque tiene dificultades al momento de desarrollar el lore mágico, abarca temas significativos como la autoaceptación o cómo lidiar con el acoso. Quizás hubiera estado mejor si al final se hubiese cerrado de mejor manera la relación compleja que tiene Miyo con una figura materna.
I should start by mentioning that romance isn't one of my favorite genres, so I might be a bit biased.
The concepts and the ideas are well established but the execution felt a bit poor. The last 30 minutes were rushed because they tried to introduce something entirely new when they had barely any time left.
The characters are enjoyable and can be relatable to some people, following the trope of extrovert and introvert relationship. The main characters are well written and developed during the movie, which is a great plus compared with the story as a whole.
