And now it’s time to give you some pro-tips on how to make life simpler when building her yourself. Let’s go.

**********************************************************

ASSEMBLY TIPS:

With any of my papercrafts, you can divide the assembly into separate parts: the head with the ears and hair, the 2 arms, the T-shirt, the legs, the pants with the upper torso and the misc/cigarettes, crocs, and ashtray.

If we start with the head, you assemble the face and neck first. Then you glue on the front hair, make the 2 ear separately and glue on, and only then close it with the back hair. After this, you can glue on the neck and upper skin torso and set aside.

Next, you can separately build the 2 arms, with either the 2D or 3D hands (*Note that I did the preview pics with the 2D version of the hands). When you got those, set them aside and start gluing together the T-shirt. The shirt needs to be made with the intersecting flaps of the skin torso around the neck, and then make the first few lines of the shirt till you get to the sleeve holes. Make the 2 sleeves separately and glue them in the holes, and then make the whole remaining shirt to the end.

Set this aside again and make the butt with the pants and belly part separately, by putting it together from bottom to top. Once you have the hole for the tail, make the tail separately as well, and put it in with some additional tape from the inside, so it holds well. Make the 2 legs separately as well, and once you have them, crumble up the top part of them a bit, so you can slide both legs inside the pants and glue them at the right angle like that. The inner side of the legs inside the pants is not visible at all, so it doesn’t matter and it’s the easiest way to do so.

Once you have the pants, legs and belly, glue the belly/beginning of the boobs on the inside of the shirt part at the right angle.

Take the 2 arms you did before, and slide them with glue on the flaps inside both sleeves you did at the right angle and place them like that. That way, the arms will be simple to pose at the angle you want and it’s the simplest way as well.

All that is left is to do those small cigarettes, the cigarette butts, the ashtray, the box and the 2 crocs for her props. The crocs fit on her feet, so you can put them on or off (no need to glue them unless you want to), and you can glue a cigarette in her hand as well, because she smokes all the time anyway XD

*Note: The papercraft preview is made with 2D hands. The files for printing-out have both the 2D and 3D hand versions, so you can choose which ones to make.

YES!! It is happening people. This is it. Spent 2 days to finish this papercraft like a mad woman, but it was soooo worth it!

The most awesome and amazing anime in the last 30 years XD It is called “Yani Neko” and the way the animators made this anime as disgusting as possible in the first episode (to still get it through to production) for people to demand they stop streaming it because “it’s too disgusting” and they don’t want to see their own addiction and ugly everyday too-close-to-reality-lives, is THE BEST AD FOR QUITTING SMOKING I have seen in the last 30 years XDDDD

It is so damn ugly and nasty; this is what the anime scene actually needs in 2026! Real people, real sh*t lives destroyed by addiction, people living fake perfect lives especially in Japan, just to see how their f*cked-up life and housing really looks like, all of this disguised in cute catgirl personas that behave like total imbeciles and are not stereotypically cutesy and princess-perfect, but are nasty, they puke, they swear, they stink and they actually sh*t like actual women do (a good portion of young men in Japan sadly still think their perfect female idols don’t take a poop at all, it’s real, look it up). They disguise all of this sadness and nastiness in actual over-the-top slapstick comedy just perfectly. It’s the pinnacle of anime, ESPECIALLY since I saw so many people wanting to cancel it, because it depicts their own lives all too well and they don’t want to see their own every day ugliness. The truth hurts, get over it.

Go look it up!!, they made a huge bang when it came out and the way the nay-sayers themselves that want to block it made suuuch a huge advertisement for them is pure ironical comedy gold, I love everything and all of it! :3

**************

Moving on to the papercraft itself, it is about 15 cm tall and has 4 pages to print (1 of them being an optional double-sided print page for the inner hair colors).

It consists of a 3D model of Yani Neko, sitting cross-legged on the ground, while smoking inhuman amounts of cigarettes XD She also comes with her 3D separate crocs, a 3D pack of smokes, an ashtray (she actually doesn’t use in the anime) and a lot of 3D cigarettes and cigarette buds. The cat tail and ears are all fully 3D, but she has optional 2D or 3D hands and an optional hair lid for the back. She also has a fully textured naked torso bellow the T-shirt, which isn’t seen in the preview pics.

***

It took me an ungodly amount of time to get that cross-legged pose right, because it is really hard to do without intersecting a single part of the legs and feet. That’s why the crocs are just optional add-ons, because it is hard to do the legs as they are in this pose anyway.

LOOK UP THE ANIME!!! Take it for what it is and try to see what they wanted to depict and show you and appreciate it in all of its nastiness and humor it has to give! :3

Btw. this papercraft does not advertise smoking or addictions in any shape or form. I made it BECAUSE IT IS AN ANTI-AD FOR SMOKING and I want to discourage people from “indulging” in any kind of addiction in the future, well, because you can end up like her... And, let’s be real, do you really want to live like that? XD

Enjoy and happy crafting~
