The new anime’s story centers on a kitten that woke up in an unfamiliar world full of Bananya creatures, and realizes that the kitten itself has also turned into a Bananya. Together with other Bananyas, the kitten sets off on a journey across forests and mountains to find a little one’s lost shiny treasure.
