One day, Fū encounters a spaceship and gains magical powers, and Rui also gains magical powers as a result. They both transform into the adults they dream of being, but there are two conditions: the magic can only be used for one year, and it must be kept a secret. The pair become idols, all while keeping their secrets from each other.
