I've posted bout the comic version of this Japanese story several months ago.
The plot is about a 65-year old woman who after leaving her mother's funeral despairs about the fact she lost out on having a normal life. (Her domineering father made her work in the family business and really had no social life) She accidentally cuts herself on an antique shoji screen and frees an imprisoned cat spirit who grants her new life as a high school student.
I'm not sure how this will end since I haven't seen recent chapters of the raw versions of the original comic, but Sumika Sumire is being made into a live-action drama on TV Asahi in Japan. There is also a 4 volume set of Japanese comics out.
