The premise: In the 21st century, the existence of animal-humans came to light after being hidden in the darkness of history. Michiru lived life as a normal human, until one day she without warning turns into a tanuki-human.

As things develop, she runs away and takes refuge in a special town area called "Anima Metropolis" that was set up 10 years ago for animal-humans to be able to live as themselves. There Michiru crosses paths with Shirou, a wolf-human who hates humans. Through Shirou, Michiru starts to learn about the worries, lifestyle, and joys of the animal-humans.
