Yuzu Kinoshi was six years old when she finally realized she hadn't been reborn as a Japanese person, but had transmigrated into an anime world.
Fantastic! She hadn't been reborn, she'd transmigrated into a two-dimensional world!
So she cheerfully wheedled and pestered her way into becoming childhood friends with her same-age neighbor, Kozume Kenma, planning to have the great [KudzuKen] sponsor her trip around the world once she was an adult!
Don't worry, [KudzuKen]. I'll definitely become interesting. You'll get photos of my two-dimensional adventures around the world, along with my bank account number.
As Yuzu Kinoshi happily daydreams about the future, she tries to memorize a map of the world and find places where two-dimensional characters gather. Actually, better start by memorizing a map of Japan.
But when she's seven and cooling off on the floor with her two childhood friends one summer, Kenma suddenly turns into a calico cat and can only meow, opening the door to a whole new world for Yuzu Kinoshi.
In a panic, Yuzu Kinoshi carries Kenma to her mother, only to learn that everyone in this world has beastfolk genes, and these genes develop alongside their talents. The more important a person's talent, the earlier beastfolk traits emerge in their life. The greater their potential, the more complete their beastlike transformation.
Many people don't develop signs like animal ears and fur until they're old and frail.
At the same time, only one person in ten thousand is fully human, with no beastfolk genes in their body due to a genetic mutation. Such people are born with powerful mental abilities and a special scent. Ordinary beastfolk who stay near them can draw out more of their talents and strengthen their bodies.
Such people are also known as [Beast Tamers].
