Therefore, Neko to Ryuu will premiere in July 2026, animated by studio OLM. Fans can check out a new look for the series.
Synopsis
Deep within an ancient forest, a fire-breathing dragon lives in harmony with cats capable of using magic. This dragon, who lost his parents before he was even born, was raised by a mother cat who found him by chance. Since then, the cats have welcomed him as part of the family, seeing him as a "different kind of cat" who could fly and breathe fire.
Each cat in the forest has its own way of life— ten cats, ten personalities.
The dragon, grateful to the mother who raised him, comes to protect and care for the other cats in the forest.
They affectionately call him "Uncle Wings," while the humans fear him and know him only as "Dragon-Cat"...
Finally, with over 1.2 million copies sold, this hit fantasy—which reached # 1 on the daily ranking of the website “Shousetsuka ni Narou” as a short story—will now receive an anime adaptation in anthology format!
