Plot Concept: The story focuses on Inori Konomi, a first-year middle school student who just moved to the town of Onegai. At the town’s plaza, Inori prayed to the goddess statue to give her a chance to be an AiPri. After she prayed, she accidentally meets the famous AiPri Aoi Yumemiya and a mysterious talking stuffed toy with her named Fōchū. It turns out that Fōchū is looking for an AiPri who can make their wish come true, and when Inori opened the special mirror pact that Aoi handed her, she gets the AiPri debut that she prayed for.
