Exuberant that his girlfriend’s coming over to visit, Akihiro Outsuki rushes home to prepare for her arrival only to trip over an ornately detailed carpet along the way. Thinking it would complement the mood perfectly he brings it home and cleans it up… only to discover that it’s no ordinary carpet when a pink-haired girl suddenly manifests in his room. Turns out the ‘carpet’ is really a tapestry hiding the pocket dimension of Fantasia, and Akihiro’s life quickly takes a turn for the hectic when an old enemy appears to wreak havoc.

An ecchi comedy with a large amount of action and a small touch of drama.

Saki Uno is just an ordinary girl with a crush on a popular idol, a feeling strong enough that she’s tried to become an idol herself in order to get closer to him… with notably lackluster results. Even worse, after coming home from yet another failed event she gets browbeaten by what appears to be a member of the yakuza while her crush gets kidnapped. One thing leads to another and soon she’s fighting demons as a crossdressing man with great physical power. Will her life ever be normal again?

An absurdist, 4th-wall breaking magical girl action comedy with an idol subtheme and several romantic subplots.
