Hazuki is a high school student who is painfully shy and socially inept; and as a result of this, she has no friends or even a love interest. She is very imaginative and a dedicated fan of fantasy fiction, traits which were ingrained by her mother, who died when Hazuki was still little; and whenever she is upset, she immediately finds herself a story book to immerse herself in (a condition Hazuki refers to as "Story Syndrome"). One day after school, Hazuki comes across a cloaked figure (Shizuka in disguise) and decides to follow her to an unused library. Hazuki is then transported to another world where she is told that she is a Mage, a (Maedchen aka: A Book User). Hazuki transfers to Kuzunoha Girl's Magic Academy to become a proper mage. She is contracted to the original book of "Cinderella".
