Synopsis Nekopara

Shigure Minazuki and Kashou, the siblings, enjoy six cats. Chocola and Vanilla help Kashou as a baker at La Soleil while Maple, Cinnamon and Coconut accompany Shigure back home in their daily lives.

Chocola is out on an afternoon errand and notices a small, green-haired kitten walking alone at a park. She decides to take her back to the patisserie. Soon, the Minazuki household adopts Cacao and names her Cacao. The Minazuki family adopts a new member to their family and lives their daily lives, bound to be more joyful than ever.

Neko Works hosted a panel today at Anime Expo, presenting the Nekopara anime series. We also got news about the games.

We have a trailer for the new mobile game Nekoparaiten. In collaboration with Azur Lane publisher Yostar, this trailer was created. The trailer’s beginning is the same as the original, but the trailer ends with the unveiling of several new catgirls.

Summary of the plot: Cats are not furry, four-footed creatures. They are human-like, cat-like, girl-like animals with ears, tails and cat-like behavior. They can be left alone if they have completed a training program and are wearing their bells. Two cats, Vanilla and Chocola, help a young man run his own patisserie. Maple and Cinnamon, two cats who live with Maple, come in every day and share a happy life together. Even though the cats may not always get along, and Azuki & Coconut certainly don’t, things are calm and peaceful until Chocola comes home with a stray kitten.

The game will be free to download on mobile devices. This means that many new characters can be expected. Here is a peek at some of them. It’s available at the bottom of this post.
