Both The Cat and the Dragon light novels and manga are published by Takarajimasha, with the former currently spanning seven printed tankoban volumes and the latter spanning 10 volumes.The story follows a fire-breathing, human-hating dragon raised by a mother cat in a forest. The dragon, known affectionately as “Uncle Wing,” watches over the many curious cats — such as one that goes on an adventure with a human prince, and another that lives in the city and people-watches as a hobby — and gradually warms up to humans along the way.
