Once turned into tanuki, Michiru Kagemori decides to leave his hometown and get to Anima City. But the way there is not as simple and safe as the girl thinks. Hunters strive to shoot the beastman, because they simply hate such creatures.

Despite the good-natured and attractive appearance, the city has developed theft and crime. Someone is ready to empty the pockets of a gaping beastman, and someone is ready to destroy all the inhabitants of the town.
