The MANGA Plus service serializes the manga in English, and describes its story as follows:

“Meet Tamako, who's found her way into an interview at a ramen shop run solely by cats. When the feline manager asks if she likes cats, Tamako admits that she's actually more of a dog person...only to be hired on the spot! But her job description isn't quite what she expects ? rather than serving ramen, she's now a dedicated cat caretaker...?!”

The ongoing manga series has currently been collected into seven compilation volumes, with the latest being released in Japan on March 4, 2024. None of these volumes have been translated into English as of this article’s writing.
