Ichigo Momomiya is thrilled to start high school and hopes for a first romance. Luck favors her when she meets the popular, good‑looking Masaya Aoyama, and a crush blooms instantly. Learning that Aoyama is passionate about environmental protection, Ichigo grabs the chance to ask him out using tickets she has for a special exhibition on endangered species.
During their outing, Ichigo is struck by an eerie glow and faints. She wakes beside Aoyama, unharmed, but they must flee a gigantic rat‑like monster that injures him. Determined to save her love, Ichigo awakens hidden powers and transforms into a heroine with cat‑like agility.
After defeating the beast, researchers Ryou Shirogane and Keiichiro Akasaka explain that Ichigo was chosen for the Mew Project—a squad of five magical girls whose DNA is infused with traits from endangered animals. The project aims to protect these species by granting humans their resilience. Ichigo vows to unite with the others, knowing each must bring unique strengths.
Now she must find her teammates and stop the Chimera Anima, alien‑infected beings intent on world domination, before humanity is lost.
