    Synopsis:

    The series follows the evolving relationship between Kotarou Kawaii, a middle school student, and Puniru, a sentient slime he created in elementary school. Their bond, nurtured over seven years, takes an unexpected turn as Puniru undergoes a significant physical transformation, developing into a young woman while retaining her ability to shapeshift. This change presents challenges to their established dynamic, forcing Kotarou to navigate the complexities of maintaining friendship with someone who is constantly evolving.

    The narrative explores themes of acceptance and the changing nature of companionship. It depicts a slice-of-life experience blending everyday middle school scenarios with fantastical elements arising from Puniru's unique existence. The story emphasizes the emotional adjustments both characters must make as they grapple with their altered relationship, questioning whether their friendship can endure despite the evolving circumstances.
