Michiru wakes up as a tanuki and the show treats it like a real problem, not a metaphor or a quirk. She crashes into Anima City looking for answers and finds a wolf who wants nothing to do with her, which means every conversation between them carries actual friction instead of instant chemistry. The mystery of why she transformed pulls you forward, but what keeps you watching is how the show actually cares about the small costs of living between worlds, the way prejudice works from both sides, and whether Michiru's optimism can survive knowing the truth about herself.
Michiru lives as an ordinary human until the day she suddenly turns into a tanuki beastman. She runs away to Anima City, a special district founded ten years earlier so that beastmen, long forced into hiding by conflict with humans, can live as themselves. During the city's tenth anniversary festival she witnesses a bombing and meets Shirou, a seemingly indestructible wolf beastman who hates humans and protects his kind. Through him, Michiru learns about the worries, daily lives and joys of beastmen. As the pair chase the bombers and look into why she changed, they find that Michiru is no ordinary beastman and become caught up in a much larger incident. The show mixes action, comedy and fantasy.
