A spirited but troubled junior high student uses a magical mask to transform into a cat so she can get closer to her crush, a quiet boy who shows affection only to her feline form. She enjoys visiting him as a cat, but the line between her human and cat lives begins to blur dangerously. The more she uses the mask, the more she risks losing her human self forever, forcing her to choose between living a simple life as a beloved pet or facing her problems as a human.
