The original work, published in February 2022, is the debut novel by Kurusu, a live streamer affiliated with the VTuber group "Nijisanji."

However, it turns out to be a place where "non-human girls" of various races who aspire to be human learn how to become human themselves. 
The original work has already been published in four volumes.
