Ailurophobia

Ever since he was a child, Akio has been afraid of cats. He keeps it a secret from everybody except his two best friends. Now that he's a little bit older, he is determined to find a way to put an end to his phobia! Especially since he plans to confess to his crush, Yuki, who happens to be an avid cat lover!

But how can he get closer to the girl he likes when she's always surrounded by his feline "enemies"? With the help of his friends, Akio starts volunteering at the local animal shelter in order to get over his cat phobia.

This is the beginning of a love story between an ailurophobe and an ailurophile!
