About the “Neko Mukashi Banashi” Series
The “Ugoku! Neko Mukashi Banashi” web anime is based on Pandania’s “Neko Mukashi Banashi” four-panel comedy manga. The original manga series re-imagines classic children’s stories and folktales from around the world by humorously asking, “What if a cat appeared in this story?”. This unique premise allows for a fresh and amusing perspective on beloved narratives, ranging from Cinderella to Momotaro. Kadokawa has published three volumes of the manga: Neko Mukashi Banashi, Nyanto! Neko Mukashi Banashi, and Mikke! Neko Mukashi Banashi.
