In this world, humans come in two forms: "normals" and "beasts" with animal ears and unique biology. For beasts, things get interesting with "heats" – a period of heightened desire that can happen to any gender. Here's the twist: beasts can get pregnant, too!
Our story follows Akira Miyaji, a beast doctor who's a bit of an anomaly. Despite being a beast, he manages to keep his instincts in check.
Then there's Kijima, the hospital director. This guy loves to push Miyaji's buttons and has a rare dominant gene that makes his pheromones super strong. Let's just say Kijima's love life is... active.
Despite their clashing personalities (think uptight doctor vs. party animal director), Miyaji finds himself oddly drawn to Kijima. Things escalate when Miyaji gets hit by a blast of Kijima's pheromones, triggering a strange heat in him. Now what? Can a doctor who defies nature handle the wild side of love with the hospital's most chaotic beast?
