A Jiu the Civet Has Nine Lives

Ajiu, a two-hundred-year-old tanuki with nine lives, was banished to the human world by the Dongfang family after eating three koi they had spent three hundred years raising. As punishment, Ajiu was ordered to collect three hundred years' worth of fish food from the Dongfang family's koi pond. After arriving in the human world, Ajiu lost its magical powers and, by chance, was taken in by Su Wan, a rising film star who had just won Best Actress. After spending time with Su Wan, Ajiu discovered that the seemingly innocent star was far from simple. In pursuit of money and personal gain, she was straying further and further down the wrong path. To earn fish food, Ajiu gradually guided her toward change… After leaving Su Wan, Ajiu went on to meet a girl with leukemia, a retired teacher, a forest ranger who had stood watch for years, and others… The world is broken, and the little cat patches it up. As Ajiu loses lives, it gradually gathers fish food, all so it can return to the spirit realm as soon as possible…
