A Friend in Need is a Friend Inside

Masumi and Sota share a bond of long-standing friendship—and one more thing in common: both are kissless virgins. How they carry that fact, however, could not be more different. Masumi is perfectly at peace with his quiet, uneventful lot in life, while Sota chafes against it, sulking in the bitterness of unfulfilled desire and a frustration that never seems to fade. Desperate for a change, Sota one day visits a shrine and offers up a heartfelt prayer, pleading for the girl of his dreams to finally appear. Remarkably, someone seems to be listening—but the answer that comes down to him is nothing he could have ever anticipated. His wish is granted in the most startling way imaginable: Masumi, his closest friend, has been transformed into a girl. The very companion Sota has always known as his buddy is now the dream girl he prayed for—a twist of fate that upends their comfortable friendship and leaves the two of them to navigate a relationship neither one ever saw coming.
