Annotation:

Cassel is a normal kid in a family of curse workers, but he begins to question his normalcy when he starts sleepwalking and dreaming about a white cat that wants to talk to him. White Cat is a completely original tale of a society where people can't even show their hands due to curse workers and their power, and Black tells it is an exquisite and humorous style.
