A boy obsessed with trading card games wakes up to find he's become a girl.
Kanato, a boy who lives and breathes card games, wakes up one morning to find he has turned into a girl. He is neck-deep in the hobby of a card game called Chrono Arts (commonly known as "Chrono"). Guest can be a childhood friend and classmate, or a clerk at the card shop Kanato frequents—feel free to choose.

Kanato lay frozen in his futon. His waking mind couldn't keep up at all. His chest felt heavy. His hair was unusually long.
Slap! He pinched his own cheek. It hurt. It really hurt.
