A high school senior Murakami Ryouta had a childhood friend called Kuroneko who died in an accident. Ryouta had made a promise with Kuroneko that he will prove there are aliens in the universe. In order to fulfil his promise, he joined the astronomy club at the school as its only member and kept observing the stars almost every night. One day, a girl who looks like Kuroneko transferred into his class. To his surprise, the girl's name is Kuroha Neko which is really similar to his childhood friend's name. However it seems that there is something unusual about her. It turns out that she is a witch who actually escaped from a research laboratory.

Runtime: 25 minutes
Air Date: 2014-04-06
Murakami Ryouta is still obsessed with guilt and love for his dead childhood sweetheart, Kuroneko, and it is driving his life. It leaves him chilly and awkward around women and apathetic towards his own future.
During Homeroom, a new transfer student is introduced, Kuroha Neko (lit: The Black Cat). Kuroha is the spitting image of his lost Kuroneko. Kuroha, however, claims to have never met him before. Kuroha can't seem to do some of the simplest things (like arithmetic or swimming), but she believes two people from the school are going to die, and is intent on preventing those deaths.
Kuroha attempts to change the fates of the doomed, reveals strange powers, and reveals an even stranger secret.

Ryouta's teacher sends him to deliver printouts to the absent Kuroha, but there is no house at the provided address. Ryouta tracks down Kuroha's hideout, and discovers quite a bit more than he'd expected. Kuroha returns to school, and another life hangs in the balance.
