It follows Miyo Sasaki, nicknamed Muge meaning “infinitely mysteriously”, who has a bubbly vibe both at school and at home. She has this secret crush for her classmate Kento Hinode, who doesn’t seem to notice her. But whenever she turns herself into a cat, she gets closer and closer to her crush. As this went on however, the boundary between her being cat and human becomes blurry, until she is forced to give up her life as a human.
