Isekai Series With Actual Catgirl LI?

[PhoenixDen]

I've noticed that there's a lot of fantasy stories that HAVE catgirls in one position or another, but rarely any where they are explicitly the love interest. They're usually side characters or joke characters (and I know there's at least one out there where she's the main character), but I'm looking for one where the MC goes for the catgirl waifu and not the human/elf healer. Does any such story exist? Feels like a gaping hole in the market if not. So I'm hunting for recs.

Preferably not harem (seen a few of those, too), but I know that's thin odds, so I'll take what I can get.

Maybe this is what you're looking for? Not really a fantasy or isekai though.

Not really, though I'll check it out. I was particular about the genre intentionally.

 

[undeed]

nah, there's a lot of them
like Rise of the Outlaw Tamer and His Wild S-Rank Cat Girl

you want specifically only cat?
not tigers? leopards? foxes? similar eared?

Cat was what I was mostly thinking of. Tigers/Leopards/Similar are fine as well. Not foxes, I've read a good number of those.

Not foxes, I've read a good number of those.

hm.. yeah...
now that makes it harder
since foxes are kinda the norm in isekai/fantasy that I've read, especially the non-harem ones.

there's Outrunner PHEV isekai , but the romance is not "finished", like it's kinda implied, but the manga was axed, so...

the tiger girl in Kajiya de Hajimeru is kinda de facto the main girl, but the romance is not yet developed, so I don't know if it's going to be harem or not.

the rest are foxes or cats but in harem

The main reason I said not foxes is because to a one they seem to play into the 'trickster kitsune' archtype, and I'm hoping for something a bit more loveydovey. Believe it or not, the first one you linked, despite the smuttiness and 'extra playmate', is pretty neat. (I mean, it's slop, but I asked for it, so yeah)

hahaha
action from the get go

well, if foxes are back on the menu
let's try Carve the Different World with Control Magic
that's about the only fantasy/isekai wolf girl romance that I like aside from Spice and Wolf

the rest.. well..
lv2 cheat, Keikenchi Chochiku, Gun-ota isekai, Seichou cheat
most I dropped after 1 volume

well, Gensou Gourmet is pretty mild

Despite being a kitsune love interest and not really an isekai, I'll flip this one at you simply because it does an exceptional job with building out the kitsune world beyond just 'haha irrational tricksters' (which is... kinda isekai-ish when they go there?). It is a very slow burn for the relationship, though.

Yeah, I figured as much.

The only other one I can think of is Tensei Shitara Kendeshita, but it's not a romance and they have more of a father daughter relationship.

Not exactly isekai (you can't call it real world either) but some good series would be Mii-chan Wants to be Kept and Catulus Syndrome. Now, if you want to see catgirls in multiple positions then read the VNs of Nekopara or one of the anime adaptations.
