Synopsis:

The series follows Rito as he navigates unexpected transformations and the evolving dynamics within a close-knit group of young women. Initially thrust into a world of fantastical inventions and unusual circumstances – including a physical alteration that changes his gender – Rito finds himself increasingly entangled in their lives. Episodes depict a blend of slice-of-life moments, often punctuated by absurd situations stemming from Lala’s experimental creations.

The narrative explores themes of companionship, identity, and the complexities of interpersonal relationships as Rito grapples with his altered state and the unique personalities of those around him. Escapist scenarios, such as a virtual reality adventure and a tropical resort getaway, offer contrasting settings to the everyday challenges faced by the characters. Interspersed are more lighthearted episodes showcasing playful interactions and humorous mishaps that define the series' tone.
