A Cat From Our World and the Forgotten Witch

Seven Seas Entertainment is delighted to announce the license acquisition of the manga series A Cat From Our World and the Forgotten Witch by Hiro Kashiwaba, a sweet tale starring a gigantic cat who’s summoned to a fantasy world by a lonely, elderly witch.

About A Cat From Our World and the Forgotten Witch​:
In her youth, Jeanne was a powerful witch who vanquished the evil Demon King and saved the world–but over time, the people she rescued have forgotten about her and her noble deeds. Now she is a short-spoken old woman, living by herself in a secluded forest...until she summons a cat from Earth to her home. The former city kitty is now the size of a giant, and must acclimate to this new world at Jeanne’s side. Through eating the food Jeanne prepares, and offering a head for pats, can this furry feline soothe the loneliness of the forgotten witch?
 
A Cat From Our World and the Forgotten Witch Vol. 1 will be released for the first time in North America in January 2024 for $13.99 USA / $17.99 CAN, with the series available in single volume editions.

One day, a kind and earnest college student named Momo brings in a tiny kitten he found on the streets, and the two men grow closer as Okura helps Momo learn about cat parenthood.
