The cat living on the island is actually a middle-aged man!? A summer story of a boy and a cat.
Kakeru, a fourth-grader, has moved from Tokyo to an island in the Seto Inland Sea. His family came to the island to help his father recover from a mental illness. Unable to adjust to his new life with his father, mother, and grandmother or to his new school, he spends his days feeling lonely… Then Heel, the island's beloved cat, appears in the garden and comes to his rescue. Kakeru seems to be able to hear Heel's voice. And the cat's true identity is, astonishingly, a middle-aged man…!? Set on an island in the Seto Inland Sea, this story follows a boy as he forms a bond with a cat and grows through that friendship.
