Takashi Imashiro's original Ghost Cat Anzu manga was serialized in Kodansha's children's manga magazine Comic BomBom from August 2006 to November 2007, then compiled into one volume. Yoko Kuno and Nobuhiro Yamashita directed the film, which features rotoscoped animation produced by Shin-Ei Animation (Doraemon) and French studio Miyu Productions. The script will be composed by Shinji Imaoka, and Kuno will provide the character designs.

Ghost Cat Anzu tells the story of a cat found by a monk in a temple. He meowed in a cardboard box which was then carefully cared for and raised, and the cat was named Anzu. Surprisingly, it didn't die even after 10 or 20 years. After 30 years, it somehow became a 'ghost cat' that speaks human language and lives like a human. The means of transportation is a moped. She works part-time as a masseuse. Anzu met Karin, a girl who is now 11 years old. At that time  Anzu is asked to look after him and reluctantly does so, but there are signs that things are not going to go smoothly.
