I’m under a curse that makes the opposite sex appear as animals, and yet, I might just be falling for the “Gorilla” who sits next to me. She’s got a muscular build, coarse body hair, and a rugged, chiseled face—literally too far from human to be a typical love interest. But her voice, her gestures, and the way she responds in conversation? They’re all unmistakably those of a cool, composed girl. As I spend my days getting along (sort of?) with this Gorilla, I can’t help but realize I’m genuinely drawn to her… though the all-important method to break this curse remains nowhere in sight! Then one day, a “cat”—a senior one year above me, dressed in the boys’ uniform—shows up and says: “I know how to break this curse.” This is the story of my ordinary days with a gorilla, painted by a curse.

A quiet, moonless night. Tsukishiro Michiru has a dream of being lost inside a mysterious old castle. She meets with five jewels that had taken the form of attractive men. She is ordered by the castle's master. "Choose the jewel you think suits you the best by the night of the next full moon". However, the jewels only have exceedingly harsh personalities that would be called "cruel", "beastly", "sadistic", "scheming", or "yandere"! As though being guided by something, in the real world she then meets five men that look the same as the jewels she met in the dream world. But completely different from the jewels, these men are refreshing and wonderful. Are they the same person or a different person? If they are the same person, which one is their true self? While spending the day with the gentle and refreshing men and the nights with the extreme and ill-mannered men, the curtain is opening on days filled with a puzzling "gap"!

Hiyama, who moved from Tokyo, was spending her days in a listless state, but by chance she became friends with a girl named Konkichi and got to know Konkichi's boyfriend. However, she gradually became interested in him...!? (Source: Manga Mee, translated)
