Kokoro (Ami Toma) is a first year junior high school student who has lost her place at school and is confined to her room. One day in May, the mirror in my room suddenly started to glow. Kokoro is drawn into a mirror and wakes up in a castle that looks like something out of a fairy tale. What appeared was a girl wearing a wolf mask, Ookami-sama (Ashida Mana). And in the large hall, six middle school students who were strangers were gathered.
According to the wolf, if you find a ``wish room'' somewhere in the castle by March 30th next year, any wish will come true. Furthermore, the wolf tells them, ``If you find the key hidden in the castle, I will make any wish come true.However, only one of you can make your wish come true.'' The period is approximately 1 year. Seven confused people communicate and search for the key. Will he be able to find the key inside the castle?
