Her story

Tama Nekonari is an adult woman in The 100 Girlfriends who calls herself a cat. A former office worker, she chooses a leisurely feline existence. Her ears and languid manner create an immediately comic impression, while her wish to be cared for gives that eccentricity a vulnerable side.

ABOUT Tama Nekonari / 01—06

01First appearance and background

Tama meets Rentaro in chapter 141, “The Cat That Wants to Be Adopted.” Shueisha’s public sample shows their introduction, while Jump+ dates the chapter to June 29, 2023, supporting a 2023 debut year. That is a platform listing date; the manga by Rikito Nakamura and Yukiko Nozawa began in 2019.

02Personality and appeal

In her original manga introduction, Tama explicitly gives her age as twenty-one and explains that she used to work in an office. Exhausted by that routine, she leaves it behind and imagines a cat’s life of rest and affection. Read against this background, her feline habits express a longing for a gentler everyday life.

03Story journey

[Spoilers] During their first meeting, Rentaro gives a hungry Tama some bread in a park. Although she has not eaten enough, she saves part for him, including the bit he considers the tastiest. That small gesture brings warmth to their exchange and reveals her consideration for someone else while she herself needs help.

04Relationships

[Spoilers] Tama joins the group as Rentaro’s twenty-fifth girlfriend. The English publisher’s volume 17 description singles out the other girlfriends’ decision to act like cats to welcome her. Her unusual way of living becomes something the group can play along with, turning an individual eccentricity into an ensemble comedy scene.

05Versions and visual identity

The official manga sample shows Tama with outward-flicking short hair, cat ears, a bell collar, a tail and a hoodie marked with the character for “cat.” Volume 18’s color cover depicts white hair and a blue eye, with a separate white-and-teal stage outfit. The short-haired silhouette and feline accessories remain useful visual anchors across those outfits.

06Fan interpretations

Tama’s introduction has also reached the English-language edition: Seven Seas lists volume 17’s release as March 17, 2026. The franchise followed its August Anime NYC appearance with an official report in September. These records establish continued international publishing and audience outreach, without measuring Tama’s individual sales, votes or popularity rank.
