'''''Nekopara (ネコぱら)''''' is a Japanese anime television series by NEKO Works. It serves as a spin-off to [[Nekopara|the original]] [[Visual Novel]].
''Kashou Minaduki, a son of a long line of Japanese confection makers, moved out to open his own patisserie "La Soleil".''
''When unpacking his stuff, Kashou found two of the catgirls (“neko”) that his family had been raising hiding in the boxes: Chocola and Vanilla. He wanted to send them back initially, but they begged and pleaded until he gave in. Now they run La Soleil together.''
''They spent some great time with the help of Shigure, sister of Kashou, and other catgirls in their family: Azuki, Maple, Cinnamon and Coconut.''
Line 13 ⟶ 14:
''The story starts with their encounter...''
The first episode premiered at Anime Expo 2019 for western audiences, along with an anime discussion with creator [[Sayori]] and anime director [[Yamamoto Yasutaka]].
