Youto Yokodera is the protagonist of "Hentai Ouji to Warawanai Neko"—a guy who's basically a massive pervert hiding behind a normal exterior. He can't be honest about who he really is because people constantly misinterpret his intentions. Case in point: he literally joined the athletics club just to ogle girls in their gym shorts.
One day, after catching wind of some rumors from his childhood friend, Youto decides to make a wish at the legendary Stony Cat. He asks for the ability to stop lying and making excuses—a pretty bold move, especially considering what he trades for it: a hug pillow belt. The cat grants the wish, stripping away his facade completely.
Turns out honesty is way harder than Youto expected. Now that he can't lie anymore, he's brutally candid with everyone around him, which obviously creates problems. But here's where it gets interesting: he discovers that whoever makes a wish at the Stony Cat ends up inheriting whatever trait the previous wisher gave up. That means someone out there now has his ability to lie and make excuses.
Desperate to get his comfortable mask back, Youto begins hunting down that missing belt—the key to reversing everything.
