In attempting to complete his mission, though, Kyutaro found himself unable to swing his sword when he discovered the cat was just too cute to kill.
The story begins with a dog-loving gang that hires a samurai, Kyutaro Madarame, to assassinate the leader of a rival cat-loving gang’s feline.
Neko Zamurai’s renewed popularization was influenced by one Twitter user whose account later went private (presumably from all the outside public’s attention), and it quickly spread once enough people learned about the insane plot.
And so Kyutaro steals the cat and soon finds himself at war with both gangs as he’s forced to use his badass samurai skills to protect both his life and that of his fuzzy new companion.
