The manga is published in the seinen manga magazine, Dengeki Daioh , which is targeted for the 18–30 year old male audience. An anime series was also produced by Bandai Visual under the same title. The story starts out about a boy, Hazumu, who was always teased for being a little too feminine. He decided to confess his love to another girl, but was rejected. To ease his heartache, he visited Mt. Kashimayama, where he had first met her. While he was lost in the mountains, Hazumu made a wish on a falling star, but it turned out to be a falling alien spaceship! After being severely injured by the spaceship crash, the alien managed to repair Hazumu's body. However, Hazumu's body was reconstructed into a woman's body! Even though his appearance had changed, his feelings for the one he loved never went away."
