A middle-aged man who loves cats and runs a failing rural convenience store suddenly gets transported—along with his store and his pet cat—into another world!!
He finds himself in a jungle, surrounded by beast-eared people everywhere, and to top it off, his pet cat has transformed into a cat-eared beautiful girl! Hooray! Beautiful!
However, the one who received magical cheats was the cat, not him.
???: “…That’s unfortunate, huh?”
Still, as a bonus of sorts, the old man also grows cat ears!
Nice! He’s part of the beast-ear club now!
Aside from his cat ears and tail, the old man gets no cheats.
What he does have is:
• his cheat-powered, lovey-dovey cat-eared girl
• the convenience store building
• and its stock of goods!
No electricity, no water, no phone.
…So how is he supposed to restock the store?
To make matters worse, the surrounding nations include:
• a massive empire obsessed with conquest
• a deranged theocracy
• and the remnants of a beastman kingdom in total civil war—basically a land of chaos.
Isekai world situation: Difficulty SS!
It’s so harsh it could make your nose run!
To make the convenience store function in another world, there’s divine cheats, shady Japanese mystery organizations, and a scheming merchant guild—
all sorts of troublesome groups pushing their own agendas!
Deep in the isekai jungle, a town slowly forms around the convenience store, and forest beast-folk and other nonhumans join them…
But instead of aiming for world domination or some grand rise to power, the old man is more like:
“Why don’t we all just live happily together?”
A laid-back, cat-eared uncle through and through.
Return to Japan?
Well, he’s got cat ears now—so even if he can’t go back, that’s fine.
The cat-eared uncle… was surprisingly chill about it!
His employees? Tons of cute, lively girls!
Cool older men, a fiery dwarf chef, and refreshing handsome guys join, too…
He even manages to befriend enemies, and they all end up following him!
This is the story of a cat-eared old man, loved by people of all ages, called “Owner” by everyone, surrounded by adorable beast-eared girls—
who saves another world not through war or returning home,
but by working hard to run a thriving convenience store!
