Information

Synopsis

Normally, the camp of Toru, who is currently homeless, is not very comfortable. She camps in the forest because her grandfather, the only surviving member of Toru’s family, is currently renovating the flat. Instead, she has a somewhat peculiar hobby: she is a passionate housekeeper. It is this hobby that eventually helps her out of her uncomfortable, damp home: when her schoolmates from the rich Soma family find out that Toru “lives” in the piece of forest that belongs to the Somas, they persuade the girl to move into their big house with them and hire her as a domestic helper.

From the beginning, Toru has the feeling that the Soma family is a bit strange – but she only realises how strange the clan members really are when she hugs one of the young men. Suddenly, she is no longer facing a handsome boy but a cat! In shock, she falls into the arms of two more boys, who then turn into a dog and a mouse in a cloud of smoke. After the initial shock is over, the Somas quickly come clean: there is a curse on most of the family members. Whenever they come into close contact with the opposite sex, they transform into one of the Chinese zodiac signs, usually into the animal that is most similar in character to the boy or girl. Now that the secret is out, it would actually be appropriate to erase Toru’s memory and send her away. But the family takes pity on the young girl and decides to trust her. She is allowed to stay and experience some interesting adventures with the unusual Soma family.

Quotes

  • Tooru HONDA

    A conscience grows, just like the body. It’s bred within your heart. That’s why the shape of people’s kindness is so different.

  • Tooru HONDA

    For there to be pain, there has to be kindness. For darkness to stand out, there has to be the sun.

  • Tooru HONDA

    I don’t think anyone is born knowing the reason why they’re here its just something you have to find as you go along.

  • Kyou SOUMA

    Normally I hate people who whine all the time… but in your case… it would be okay… to complain…Be selfish… Say what you want… once in a while… It’s okay… To let yourself be sad.

  • Yuki SOUMA

    Sometimes, we need someone to accept us and love us first. Then, we would learn to see ourselves through that person’s eyes and learn to love ourselves.
