Nekomuras

Nekomura is a fictional cat-girl character created by the Japanese artist Koge Donbo. Nekomura first appeared in the manga series "Nekomura-san," which was serialized in Nakayoshi magazine from 2001 to 2006. The character is a young girl who is half-human and half-cat, possessing feline ears and a tail. She is known for her playful and curious nature, often getting into amusing situations due to her animal instincts.

The manga follows Nekomura's daily life as she navigates school, friendships, and her unique heritage. Her cat-like behaviors, such as napping in sunbeams, chasing laser pointers, and having an insatiable appetite for fish, are central to the humor and charm of the series. Despite her feline traits, Nekomura also exhibits many human emotions and desires, making her a relatable protagonist for young readers.

"Nekomura-san" spawned an anime adaptation in 2003, further popularizing the character. The series has been praised for its lighthearted storytelling and adorable character designs. Nekomura has become a recognizable figure in the world of manga and anime, representing a classic example of the "nekomusume" (cat-girl) archetype. Her enduring appeal lies in the blend of human and animal characteristics, offering a whimsical escape into a world where the line between species is playfully blurred.
