As a child, Ritsuki brought home a kitten and named it "Tama". However, this seemingly ordinary pet would eventually take on a life of its own, transforming into a young beast-man known as "Shuri". As Ritsuki and Shuri navigated their lives together, they grew up and entered high school, where Ritsuki began to mysteriously distance himself from Shuri, who had always been by his side.

As the story unfolds, Ritsuki's motivations and emotions are shrouded in mystery, leaving Shuri to grapple with the uncertainty of their relationship. The delicate balance between Ritsuki's past and present selves is threatened, and the consequences of his actions will have a profound impact on the lives of both Ritsuki and Shuri.
