Suruaika

Kipu is a chauffeur in a dark city, with streets full of cars and black cats. After he accidentally runs over the family of a little cat called Suruaika, Kipu adopts her, trying to keep her safe. As Kipu’s love for Suruaika grows, so does her body, and the streets become even more crowded with cats.
