Red Cat Ramen: From Manga to Anime Adaptation

Get ready to use your chopsticks because the 2021 manga series Red Cat Ramen is finally getting its first anime adaptation. If you're a true otaku, anime enthusiast, or simply a fan of delicious food, chances are you also love ramen. And what could be better than an adorable red cat running its own ramen shop?

Angyaman's award-nominated web series, Red Cat Ramen, made a splash in the manga world in November 2021, captivating a large fan base with its charming talking cats. The series was later serialized on Shonen Jump+'s website in March 2022 and, after gaining momentum and receiving rave reviews, it was promoted to regular serialization. Now, an exciting new anime adaptation has been announced.

Red Cat Ramen’s anime announcement

The anime adaptation for Red Cat Ramen was initially revealed on November 26, 2023, on the official X/Twitter page of the manga. And, as the tagline suggests, “It all starts with a large portion”.

Red Cat Ramen’s announcement was a hit with fans, garnering over 3,000 likes and 2,000 reposts in just 24 hours. It's no wonder, as it offers a much-needed dose of comic relief in contrast to the recent darker series releases.

Red Cat Ramen’s plot

The tale of Red Cat Ramen revolves around Tamako, a young woman who miraculously lands a job interview at a ramen shop operated entirely by cats. Despite being more inclined towards dogs, she confesses her preference to the feline manager and surprisingly, gets hired on the spot!

The job turns out to be different from what she anticipated. Instead of serving ramen, she is now a full-time caregiver for cats. This may be a dream come true for some, but the cats can't talk, cook, or serve food because they don't have opposable thumbs. Besides the key visual of a charming red tabby holding a bowl of ramen, no other details have been revealed. However, the release date, cast, and crew will be announced in the future. Keep an eye out for updates.
