A Whisker Away




Nakitai Watashi wa Neko wo Kaburu


泣きたい私は猫をかぶる













Sasaki “Muge” Miyo is a peculiar second-year junior high student who has fallen in love with her classmate Hinode Kento. Muge resolutely pursues Kento every day, but he takes no notice of her. Nevertheless, while carrying a secret she can tell no one, Muge continues to pursue Kento. Muge discovers a magic mask that allows her to transform into a cat named Tarou. The magic lets Muge get close to Kento, but eventually it may also make her unable to transform back to a human.

Notes on subtitles:

Modifications done to the English [Kulot] subtitles:

Improved and added missing signs. A few made by me. Half of the signs taken from Anarchy.
Dialogue timings copied over from Anarchy.
Dialogue ASS tags (italics, alignment, fades, etc.) also taken from Anarchy with small corrections.
Small modifications like: replaced two consecutive hyphens with em dashes; minor timing adjustments.


All subtitles have been checked, and, if necessary, timed to make sure at least the dialogue is in sync with the audio. For languages other than English, I don’t guarantee frame-perfect sign sync, though.
All ASS subtitles have been resampled, if necessary.
All of the fonts (except those for English subtitles) are subset in order to save space, meaning they contain only the necessary glyphs for their respective subtitles.

Playback
It is highly recommended to watch any AV1 release with an up-to-date media player. I personally recommend the mpv media player, but MPC-HC or VLC also support AV1 playback. Note that some newer versions of VLC have issues with Opus surround sound playback. If you must use it, v3.0.20 apparently doesn’t have this problem.
