<Story>
I found it, the magic to see you--
Miyo Sasaki is a free-spirited, slightly strange eighth grader. Her classmates call her by the nickname "Muge (Infinity Mystery Man)," and she is always cheerful and full of energy both at school and at home. Muge has feelings for her classmate Kento Hinode and boldly makes advances toward him every day, but he never takes her seriously. She is undeterred and continues to appeal to him, but she has a very special secret that she can't tell anyone. ......
The only way she can stay close to her beloved Hinode. The only way to stay close to Hinode, whom she loves so much, is to become a cat and go to see him. When she is "human," she is distant from Hinode, but when she is "cat," she can get close to him.
But the longer I spend as a cat, the more the boundary between cat and myself becomes blurred. I want to stay close to him forever. But I can't go back to being "me" anymore.
A coming-of-age fantasy about finding "me" that unfolds through the world of cats.
