Story
Popular, talented manga writer Kojima Asako lives with her two cats Gugu and Bee at a home office that commands a view of Kichijoji’s Inokashira Park in Tokyo. Her assistant Manami has been busy every day, offering her support. But Manami has begun thinking of striking out on her own as a manga writer. Meanwhile, a fellow assistant Iida Chisato applies to be Manami’s replacement. However, she actually dislikes cats. Kagawa, a detective past middle age, visits Asako’s home. He asks her to let him stakeout at her house to arrest a murderer, but … … Meanwhile, the editor Omori, who has been in charge of Asako for a long time, gets married, but he cannot bring himself to tell Asako. Then Asako hears rumours that the missing homeless man, who left Gugu in her care, was seen at Mt Fuji and she sets out on a journey to search for him.
