About Mikan Enikki

Meet Mikan Enikki (みかん絵日記), a comedy, romance and slice of life anime by Nippon Animation (1992). Here is the premise in a nutshell. The setup: A kitten, abandoned and left for dead along with his siblings, is taken in by Tomu Kusanagi, who nurtures him and finds out that the tangerine cat he so adores is actually a genius who can talk, walk, read.

In a comedy series like this, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. TARAKO voices Mikan, one of the main characters driving the story.

This one is best suited to viewers who want something light between heavier series. With 31 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
