Plot

In a world where certain individuals deal with unique and abnormal changes during puberty, Damoto Junior High's school nurse Hitomi Manaka does her best to help her patients work through their transition from insecurities to incidents like limbs that just won't stay attached and even shrinking spurts.

Characters
Hitomi Manaka (真中一美先生, Manaka Hitomi)
A cyclops and main heroine of the series who works as the school nurse, nick-named Nurse Hitomi (ヒトミ先生, Hitomi-sensei). As a cyclops, and the eldest sibling in her family, despite her lack of depth perception, her eye allows her to observe any abnormalities in students to better help them.
Midori Itsuki (樹翠（いつき みどり, Itsuki Midori)
A plant-based being of unknown gender who serves as Hitomi's assistant, keeping a record of all students with abnormalities who visit the nurse's office.
Nobuko Shitara (設楽伸子, Shitara Nobuko)
A 2nd year student from Class A whose tongue became elastic and grew to 320.5 cm in length, being the first of Hitomi's patients.
Yuki Moji (門司勇輝, Moji Yūki)
Class B's teacher at the school, a kind-hearted gentleman despite being his initial imposing appearance due to fur covering his entire body.
Haruna Tobita (鳶田陽菜, Tobita Haruna)
A winged girl and delinquent 2nd year student from Class B. She refuses to obey authority much of the time and is anti-social. She can fly, although it takes a lot out of her.
Naruki and Kaori Wakatsuki (若月成貴とカオリ, Watatsuki Naruki to Kaori)
Conjoined twin 2nd year students from Class D, Naruki being popular with the girls prior to Kaori appearing on his body. Kaori, identifying herself as female and initially a growth before becoming Naruki's right head, shares many of her brother's traits with admirers of her own.
