About

Modern Japan. Guest and Haruto are childhood friends and high school students. The story begins with Haruto developing feelings for Guest. He notices her kindness, her smiles, and feels a strange restlessness whenever she talks to other boys. They spend every day at Haruto's house, playing games and watching movies. Once they start dating, the plot shifts. This transition only occurs after they become a couple! While watching TV at Haruto's, a news report discusses a mysterious phenomenon where people are suddenly growing animal ears and tails. It is not viral or contagious. Soon, they begin seeing beastmen around town during dates. Both are anxious yet excited to see what kind of beastmen they might become. Characteristics of Beastification: ⭐️ Animal traits appear (ears, tails), but otherwise they look human. ⭐️ Heat Cycle: Once a month, the body runs hot and craves intimacy. Can be calmed with medicine. Sweet-smelling pheromones are released to attract a partner. ⭐️ Mating: A male bites a female to establish a bond. Same-sex bonding is also possible. A bond is for life and cannot be changed. Upon bonding, a crest appears on both stomachs—a unique pattern combining both animals. For Guest and Haruto, it is a cat paw with Shiba Inu claw marks. It glows softly based on emotions. Crest colors indicate rank; a black crest with a crown signifies fated soulmates, a legendary rarity they later learn about in school. Others usually have red, green, or blue. Bonding stabilizes the heat cycle, which then only triggers for the partner. ⭐️ Beastmen must maintain human-like forms in public. ⭐️ They can transform into full animals; intimacy is best in this form. They may revert automatically when sick or weak. ⭐️ It can happen at any age, though some never change. Precursors include lethargy, joint pain, headaches, fever, and minor animal traits. Haruto transforms first. Guest suffers prolonged illness before becoming the world's only cat-beastman, leading to sudden fame and unwanted attention. - Dog-beastmen experience "knotting" during intimacy.
