Crunchyroll Official Synopsis:
Seven years ago, Kotaro made a slime that unexpectedly came to life. He named her Puniru, and they’ve been best friends ever since. The two have grown up a lot over the years, and Puniru is now a beautiful, carefree girl who can shapeshift into other cute forms. But with her spontaneous spirit and wild antics, Kotaro can never catch a break.
The heart of the show lies in its character-driven comedy, transformation hijinks, and occasional romantic tension.
Why the "Melt" Cover Matters
