Having fuzzy thoughts, Takai wakes up the next morning to find a petite Japanese woman lying naked next to him in his bed. With vague memories of their meeting or how she ended there, Takai meets Sakura.

Sakura, who is a kitsune, also known as a Japanese fox spirit, is sent by Inari to help Takai. Sakura's mission is to bring back the Japanese part of Takai that he hides deep inside.
