But as she goes on her first date, and while a scarlet moon proudly appears in the sky, a strange event occurs: before Ayumi's eyes, the fat and unpopular Zenko commits suicide and…?! Without understanding how or why, Ayumi wakes up in the hospital. But she became Zenko! "Ugly" and obese, she will have to face a new life, while trying to find her own body… Alas, not everyone hears it with the same ear!
