Synopsis
A 27-year-old office lady, Midori Akitsu, abruptly dies from overwork just after returning home. In her life, her greatest passion was to touch and pet fluffy animals; after her sudden death, a god offers to restore her in another world, where her wish will come true.

Midori is reborn as a noble-born little girl named Nefeltima Osphe (Néma for short) in the world of Asdyllon, which is inhabited by humans and fantastic creatures. The humans, however, violently discriminate against their non-human cohabitants, and therefore God leaves her with the choice to decide whether or not they deserve to be wiped out. He grants Néma the ability to attract the affection of non-human beings, which she uses to befriend a number of animals and mythological creatures.
