The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

It was serialized in Kodansha's josei manga magazine Be Love Pair, and later Be Love Parfait, from 1991 to 2001, with its chapters collected in five tankōbon volumes; the publisher first collected its chapters in two wideban volumes. The series follows Kiko Ninomiya, a kindergarten student who has many features of a child prodigy, but at the same time displays bizarre habits and an odd personality.
