Official English Translation

Twelve years ago, the young rat Mimi witnessed the brutality of the year-beast who attacked his village. But, rather than fear him, Mimi was entranced by the warm flames that danced around his body. Now an adult, duty-bound to protect humans as a member of the rat tribe, Mimi faces the beast that appears in the new year to attack humans... Only to find it's the same red-skinned beast from his childhood...! He's desperate to befriend the beast whom he's longed for all these years, but the beast only seems to see him as prey. Maybe that will change when he finds out that the rat warrior has both male and female organs (!?). Finally, Mimi's inner conflict is about to be resolved...by letting the year-beast "eat" him!
