Hilarity and Character Development ensue when she decides to grant the wishes of the city's cats, which involves making Miyabi filthy stinking rich (and saddling her with Tora's babies, teaching her that money isn't everything), and turning Shinta into a cat. | |

| Koi Neko (Manga) / int_1589afa2 | comment |
Freakiness Shame: When Inaho starts to turn Shinta into a fox and he sprouts whiskers and pointy ears, Nao finds it very sexy and offers him a place in the cat world, prompting Inaho to offer to turn him into a cat instead. | |

Dead All Along | |
| Koi Neko (Manga) / int_1b590025 | comment |
Dead All Along: It's revealed that one of the two Naos died as a kitten and the other lived, but which it was isn't clear. Inaho's narration to Mikadzuki in Chapter 91 implies that the long-haired Nao - who wished to cuddle with Shinta forever - is the kitten who died and is buried behind the shrine, while the short-haired Nao - who wished to wait for Shinta forever - is the one that survived. To add to the confusion, Schrödinger's Cat is invoked, with Shinta unwittingly (at first) being forced to choose which of them was the twin who lived. In the end both of them live, so it ultimately doesn't matter which was which. | |

| Koi Neko (Manga) / int_267ce120 | comment |
Dirty Old Man: Of a comedic sort: Shinta's dad, Kazuya, is a lecher who keeps trying to Skinship Grope his own daughter and is disappointed his son hasn't gone further with Nao, mainly so he could eavesdrop on them. However, he dishes out a few pearls of wisdom from time to time and he's actually a famous author who wrote an extremely successful book based on his life, but refuses to write a sequel until he's done raising his family. | |

Angsty Surviving Twin | |
| Koi Neko (Manga) / int_322f6b34 | comment |
Angsty Surviving Twin: The long-haired Nao had a twin sister who died when she was a kitten and is buried at Inaho's temple. While she doesn't angst about it early on due to not remembering much from that time, she becomes melancholic about it in the last few chapters. It's strongly implied that the short-haired Nao is either the sister's ghost or from a universe where she lived but the long-haired Nao didn't. | |

PowerOfLove | |
| Koi Neko (Manga) / int_3767e049 | comment |
Power of Love: What gives a cat the ability to transform into a human. If they say "I hate you" from the bottom of their heart, they lose their memories of the person they fell in love with and the ability to transform into a human with it. Regaining their memories and love of that person lets them transform again, and awakens their Cat's Song. | |

Curb-Stomp Battle: When he starts regaining his repressed memories, Mikadzuki runs away and takes over a gang of cats in another neighborhood. When Nao and Miyabi go looking for him, Mikadzuki's new gang picks a fight with them. When Mikadzuki — who had lost his memory of them — shows up to fight them off, they mop the floor with him too and then take him home. | |

Surprise Incest: The long-haired Nao has a dream where she reunites with the short-haired Nao, who kisses her on the lips rationalizing that it's OK since they're the same person and because Inaho said it doesn't count when two girls kiss. The short-haired Nao and long-haired Nao are later revealed to be twin sisters, though this doesn't bother them and they both end up dating Shinta at the same time. | |

Really 700 Years Old: Miyabi fell in love with Shinta's grandfather when he was 14, and still appears the same now as she did then. Conversely, Mikadzuki appears as an adult in human form despite having appeared to be the same age as Wakaba before. Nao tells Shinta that Inaho said their human form's appearance has something to do with their personality and emotions. | |

Benevolent Genie | |
| Koi Neko (Manga) / int_a6c97a15 | comment |
Benevolent Genie: Inaho is a kitsune and servant of Inari, and she can use her divine powers to grant the wishes of others. Hilarity and Character Development ensue when she decides to grant the wishes of the city's cats, which involves making Miyabi filthy stinking rich (and saddling her with Tora's babies, teaching her that money isn't everything), and turning Shinta into a cat. A more serious example is revealed in Chapter 91, where reveals she previously granted the wish of a pair of dying kittens to see the little boy who cared for them again. One kitten died before the wish can be fulfilled, resulting in a complex Schrodinger's cat situation where the boy - Shinta - has to choose which Nao is the kitten who died and which is the one who lived, resulting in one of them disappearing. | |

Be Careful What You Wish For: Nao subconsciously wishes Shinta was a cat, which Inaho temporarily grants not realizing who it belongs to or what it entails. Nao, not realizing what happened, is horrified to be reminded of her traumatic dream. The short-haired Nao wished to wait for Shinta forever, and is first met in an alternate universe where Shinta has disappeared, leaving her waiting for him for all eternity. | |

Chastity Couple: It took 19 chapters for Shinta and Nao to even kiss (and Shinta was asleep at the time too), much to Nao's consternation. There have been times when Shinta's composure snapped, though. | |

Magic Music | |
| Koi Neko (Manga) / int_c928d01d | comment |
Magic Music: The Cat's Song. Each transformed cat has a unique song in memory of the person they love, but can only awaken it through the heartbreak of forgetting about and regaining their memories of that person. The short-haired Nao and Miiko are shown singing theirs, Miyabi admits she has awakened hers, and it's strongly implied Mikadzuki has awakened his own as well. By the end of the manga, the long-haired Nao awakens her Cat's Song as well. | |

Laser-Guided Amnesia: When Inaho grants the long-haired Nao's wish to turn Shinta into a cat he loses all memory of her, but regains his memory and human form with help from the short-haired Nao. More generally, transforming cats whose loved one dies or disappears will slowly forget about them and lose the ability to transform. Additionally, if they state they hate that person they are locked into cat form and lose all memory of the person they love. | |

This short-haired Nao shows up in the final two arcs, having crossed the boundary between worlds as a Fragment of If to confess to Shinta. It turns out she is Nao's deceased sister, resurrected by Inaho for the purpose of fulfilling their wish. | |

Dark and Troubled Past | |
| Koi Neko (Manga) / int_fed93e1b | comment |
Dark and Troubled Past: When Mikadzuki confronts Inaho over the recent strange goings on, she tells him about Nao's backstory: A pair of newborn kittens were left in a box outside her shrine, and she waited for them to wish for food or warmth so she could use her divine powers to help them. When no wish came, Inaho found they were being looked after by a little boy. Just as she decided she was no longer needed and was about to go back to sleep, she felt the kittens wish to see the boy one last time, since the boy had been unable to come care for them and as a result they were dying. Before Inaho could grant that wish, she found that one kitten had already died and the other had been taken in by someone. With her powers weakened due to the little boy damaging one of the kitsune statues at her shrine while searching for the kittens, Inaho was only able to grant the dead kitten's wish — creating the long-haired Nao and short-haired Nao in the process. With her power restored, she was able to create a Schrodinger's cat situation where the now-teenaged boy, Shinta, would be unwittingly forced to choose which of the Nao twins was the kitten that survived, and the other would disappear from existence. | |
