Huh? The Cat They Kissed Turned Into a Human?

[The upcoming novel "Kisses & Volleyball" is advertised at the very end] Huh? The cats they kissed turned into girls?! Kissing a cat means kissing her? The thing is, they didn't just kiss the kitten. They even hugged her and slept with her. So they have to take responsibility. They want to take responsibility! For Li Miaomiao, an accident turned her into a cat, and Ushijima took her in and cared for her. She became his little cat. But from Ushijima's perspective, one day he discovered that the little cat he'd been raising had turned into a beautiful girl. Ushijima thought about how every day he'd kissed and cuddled Miaomiao the cat, and slept beside her... After Li Miaomiao turned back into a human, all those memories of their affectionate moments became, in Ushijima's eyes, things he'd done with the beautiful girl standing before him. So not only had he held Li Miaomiao close like that, he'd also told her countless times, tenderly, that he liked her and wanted to care for her forever. He'd even kissed her, let her crawl inside his clothes, and sleep on his chest. And when Miaomiao the cat had pressed both paws against his chest and kneaded him, that had actually been Li Miaomiao... Thinking about all those impossibly intimate moments, closer than being in love, Ushijima decided he needed to redefine his relationship with Li Miaomiao. But the problem was, Ushijima wasn't the only one thinking that way! After turning into a kitten, Li Miaomiao had gotten involved with quite a few people. The Karasuno volleyball team teased Kageyama about Miaomiao the cat coming to visit him, saying it was a cat's way of repaying a kindness and that Kageyama was going to marry the kitten princess. Faced with their teasing, Kageyama simply picked up Miaomiao the cat, kissed her, then asked seriously, "So, will you marry me, Princess Kitten?" When Miaomiao the cat ran away from home, Oikawa stole her and pinned her down on the bed to kiss her. "Hehehehe~~~" "Miaomiao, you're so cute! Let me kiss you again!" Then Oikawa turned into a cat because he'd kissed Miaomiao the kitten too many times, and Li Miaomiao got to pin him down and kiss him back. Sakusa claimed to be a germaphobe who didn't like cats, but after Miaomiao the kitten snuggled into his blankets, he ended up hugging her and refusing to let go. Kuroo and Kenma ran into Miaomiao the cat while she was earning extra money at a cat cafe. They took her home, then got the delightful surprise of watching the kitten turn into a beautiful girl... In short, quite a few people wanted to take responsibility for Miaomiao the cat and decided to define their intimate relationship with her as romance. The kitty doesn't steal volleyballs, but she does steal hearts! [Please note:] [The heroine repeatedly changes between human and cat, and the cat is sexualized.] [The male lead is Ushijima, but romantic entanglements with other characters are inevitable too. If that's not your thing, please feel free to pass.] Blurb archived: 2024.8.6 [The upcoming Haikyuu!! novel "Kisses & Volleyball" is open for follows. Here's the blurb.] While working part-time at Onigiri Miya, Xia Yuran has a special ability: No matter what kind of injury an animal or a person has, one kiss from her is enough to restore them completely and leave them in perfect shape. In her 23 years, Xia Yuran has only ever used this special ability on animals. She's never kissed anyone. Only ever kissing cats and dogs feels like such a waste of this gift... Xia Yuran refuses to admit that she wants to find out what a kiss feels like. But soon, she gets the chance to experience one firsthand. While preparing ingredients, Miya Osamu accidentally cuts his finger so deeply that he can see the bone. "Ow, that's a deep cut..." Miya Atsumu is in pain and upset, and is just about to go to the hospital. Then Xia Yuran says, quietly but firmly, "I just need to kiss it." Miya Osamu wonders if he's misheard her. "What did you say?" Xia Yuran pulls Miya Osamu down by the waist, her gaze fixed on his soft lips. "I just need to kiss it." Then she kisses him outright. Miya Osamu's eyes go wide. That was his first kiss!! Looking at his finger, now completely healed with no sign of the wound that had gone down to the bone just a moment ago, Miya Osamu licks his lips and asks Xia Yuran to confirm. "So you can heal any injury with a kiss?" Xia Yuran gives herself a serious sales pitch. "Tired or sick? One kiss is all it takes." Miya Osamu turns away awkwardly, unsure how to face Xia Yuran after kissing her. But then he has a thought. His twin brother, Miya Atsumu, has a broken bone and is still in a cast, unable to play volleyball. Miya Osamu cautiously asks, "Have you ever thought about using this ability to heal people?" Of course, the answer is yes. Having never even held a man's hand, Xia Yuran begins her miraculous career saving lives with her lips by kissing a man's mouth. Miya Atsumu has a broken bone and can't play in the match? One kiss will fix him. If one twin gets a kiss, then so can the other. The match is coming up, and Bokuto, with his iron constitution, has a high fever? After she kisses him, his fever goes down, but his face stays just as red. Kageyama accidentally eats expired food and gets appendicitis, but doesn't want surgery? Now that she's healed him with a kiss, can he pay her the surgery fee? Kenma has stayed up so late he's nearly dead? Saving lives is her duty, so she kisses him! Kuroo just has a stiff neck and wants her to treat it? Ah, fine, come here for a kiss! Ushijima isn't sick or hurt, but his mother keeps pressuring him to settle down. What? He wants her to kiss him to help him deal with that too? By the end of it, Xia Yuran has kissed more people than most people kiss in their entire lives. And with every kiss, someone falls for her. This is getting a little complicated... Theme: Care for little animals.
