maybe i'll make a video essay one day on the wild tangent of a story that is Neko Neko Bakery DS

most of the info i know is here, but here's some other fun facts:

- there's 3 main cats named bucchi tencho, moco, and kororo (no relation to the retranslation), but there's also a ghost cat with a beard that shows up in none of the official media and only in certain issues of chara parfait
- the only other merch this series got was an official plushie and a gacha keychan series, outside of that its just magazine extras
- they made a full-on mascot suit of this guy!!!!
- for a little bit of time, there was an official collaboration with a bakery where you could eat the cat bread/various other sweets
- for some reason Animal Kororo has a different game over theme???? was it too scary for the neko game or something???? also listen to the ost here
