Synopsis
Mysterious high-school girl Megumi seeks identity after ancient book alters her life, haunted by magical past.
Megumi-chan is a spirited high-school girl with a mysterious past. Long ago, she encountered a strange individual who presented her with an ancient book said to hold incredible power. After a fateful interaction with this artifact, her life took an unexpected turn—one that left her searching for answers about her true identity. Now navigating the challenges of high school, Megumi finds herself at the center of attention after a dramatic first day. As she tries to live a normal life, she remains haunted by memories of that magical encounter and the book that changed everything. Determined to uncover the truth behind what happened to her, Megumi's journey is just beginning.
Megumi-chan is a girl with a secret past. She used to be a boy until she met a person she thought was a magic user. This person gave him/her a magical book from which a genie appears to grant one wish when blood is applied to it. Megumi made the wish to be a man in a man's body but the genie has a twist: he grants wishes backwards so he turns Megumi-kun aged 9 to Megumi-chan. Years pass and Megumi enters High School where she immediately beats up the school bully who of course falls in love with her. She is looking for that book again to be able to reverse the spell placed upon her. (Source: ANN)
