Story

The story begins with the birthday of an unnamed young girl. Her father is usually busy with work, but on this special occasion he is able to spend time with her family. Earlier, he had gone to the store to buy a new toy for his daughter. Yumetaro had been wandering around the toy store and was confused when her father came in. He hid with stuffed animals that looked like him, but was picked up by the girl's father. When the girl opens the present from Yumetaro, she is thrilled. Yumetaro becomes the girl's favorite toy, and so her other toys no longer feel loved. One night, the toys come to life and take the girl to another dimension. The only one left is Yumetaro, who follows the toys in search of her.
