Nekopara
Nekopara is a series of visual novels developed and published by Neko Works. The series centers around Kashou Minaduki, a young patissier who moves out of his family home to open his own confectionery shop, "La Soleil." Much to his surprise, two catgirls (or "nekos"), Chocola and Vanilla, stow away with him, wanting to stay by his side.
The narrative primarily focuses on Kashou's life as he runs La Soleil with Chocola and Vanilla, and gradually welcomes more nekos – Azuki, Coconut, Maple, and Cinnamon – into his household and business. The stories typically explore themes of found family, companionship, and the daily lives of the nekos as they navigate their relationship with Kashou and each other.
Nekopara has gained significant popularity, leading to the development of multiple volumes of the visual novel series, as well as anime adaptations, manga, and merchandise. The series is known for its moe art style, cute character designs, and lighthearted, slice-of-life storytelling. While the series includes adult content in some of its releases, it also has all-ages versions available. The franchise appeals to audiences interested in visual novels, catgirls, and heartwarming narratives.
