Seven Seas<\/a> is releasing<\/a> the manga in English, and it describes this comedy set in a world where humans, catgirls, and similar species co-exist:<\/p>\n

Yani is a catgirl with a seriously bad smoking habit. She smokes so much that her apartment smells like ash and is littered with cigarette butts\u2014and plenty of other trash! Every time she tries to quit, she becomes weak to the cravings and gives in almost instantly. Will she ever get her life together, or is she doomed to live as a chainsmoking slob forever?<\/p>\n
