The manga began serialization in ''Suiyōbi no Sirius'' in 2018, and was later picked up in ''Monthly Shōnen Sirius'' as well in 2021. Creator/SevenSeasEntertainment publishes the manga in English. An anime adaptation produced by [=GoHands=] aired as part of the Summer 2023 season for thirteen episodes.

* ShoutOut: Yukichi sometimes refers to himself with [[UsefulNotes/JapanesePronouns the archaic pronoun "wagahai"]], which alludes to ''Literature/IAmACat'' (whose main protagonist, also a cat, refers to himself with the same pronoun).

Three years ago, Tokyo salarywoman Saku Fukuzawa adopted a black cat and named him Yukichi. In the present day, Yukichi still lives with her--but not only has he [[MegaNeko grown to an enormous size]] and learned to walk on two legs, he's also highly intelligent and is the one who takes care of Saku rather than the other way around. While Saku heads off to work, Yukichi is placed in charge of looking after her apartment, buying the groceries, getting any mail for her and cleaning the place to make sure it's nice and tidy by the time she gets back from work.

It takes place in Tokyo where salarywoman Saku Fukuzawa adopts a black cat three years ago prior to the story and names it Yukichi. It later grew up to be a bipedal MegaNeko. While Saku heads off to work, Yukichi is placed in charge of looking after her apartment, buying the groceries, getting any mail for her and cleaning the place to make sure it's nice and tidy by the time she gets back from work.

Although Saku does wonder from time to time why Yukichi is a MegaNeko instead of being an average cat...

* DrivingQuestion: Why is Yukichi now a bipedal MegaNeko? Why was he not an average cat?
* ElephantInTheLivingRoom: Yukichi is a bear-sized walking cat who goes outside to handle errands, but anyone who sees him can't work up the nerve to ask what's up with that. In the end, they either wilfully ignore it or just assume Yukichi is someone wearing a cat fur suit.
