Frencel is credited with the original work, and Kyō Yatate is directing the series at helo.inc. Shiori Yamazaki is the sound director, and Tetsuya Kobayashi is composing the music.
The franchise centers on the cats known as "Mitchiri Neko," who seem to multiply greatly when left alone. (As the official YouTube channel for the franchise explains, "'Mitchiri' means sticking together or packed, and 'neko' means a cat in Japanese.") The cats are able to speak and mimic human behavior. The franchise has a variety of cat characters who have distinct personalities.
The franchise began as a four-panel manga on the Famitsu.com website in 2012, and it later moved to the Famitsu app. The manga currently runs on DeNA's Manga Boxapp. The manga inspired a smartphone game titled Mitchiri Neko Mix that debuted in January 2014. The franchise also inspired a series of short animations that began in the official Mitchiri Neko YouTube channel in 2014.
The franchise is also inspiring a new smartphone game titled Mitchiri Neko Bubble, and pre-registration is currently available for the game.
Frencel and G-angle are credited for a new manga adaptation that launched in Kodansha's Nakayoshi magazine on October 3.
