Volume 1 Synopsis[]

Pressured to do so by his friends Tomari Kurusu and Asuta Soro, Hazumu Osaragi confesses his love to Yasuna Kamiizumi, who tearfully rejects him since she is interested only in girls. To console himself, Hazumu climbs nearby Mt. Kashima to visit the forest plants he loves, and an alien spacecraft crash-lands on him, killing him instantly. The alien brings life back to Hazumu but as an atomically correct female. After the alien broadcasts a world-wide apology for its action, an ill-mannered bevy of reporters attempt to interview Hazumu, and Tomari, as she has so many times in the past, steps in to protect Hazumu from them. Hazumu begins adjusting to life as a girl, but Tomari has trouble adjusting to the fact that Hazumu is not now a male. Hazumu is confused when Yasuna claims she loves her, now that she is female. The alien, Hitoshi Sora, along with an artificially intelligent gynoid named Jan Pu, begin living at Hazumu's house, where they are warmly welcomed by her parents.

As Hazumu begins to progress in her feminine appearance and presentation, Tomari seems to regress with a 'leave me alone' attitude. Yasuna now makes an attempt to kiss Hazumu in the school's rooftop garden, but she is interrupted by the appearance of Asuta. The Alien Being, taking on the name of Mr. Sora, starts teaching biology at Hazumu's school, so that he can observe human behavior up close and in person. Through Sora's keen scientific observation skills, he discovers Yasuna's unique affliction of only being able to see males as hazy outlines, although she can see girls clearly. After telling Hazumu about her condition at school, Yasuna leaves Hazumu in an empty classroom to ponder the revelation that she has just reveled, but soon returns to the classroom. Yasuna approaches Hazumu, and whispering to her that she wants no more regrets, gives her a passionate girl-with-girl kiss. They are seen kissing when Tomari unexpectedly enters the classroom. Tomari is quite shocked by this, dropping her books and pens on the floor.
