The protagonist of this work is an 18-year-old young woman, Mitsuha Yamano, who lost her family in an accident just before graduating from high school. In the midst of this chaos, she also fails her university entrance exams. One day, after being harassed by delinquents and falling off a cliff, Mitsuha fuses with a mysterious lifeform, gaining the ability to move between different worlds. Thanks to this power, she can transport herself to places she knows well or can vividly imagine in the other world. By making consecutive transfers, she can also travel to faraway places within the same world.
Furthermore, this lifeform, grateful to Mitsuha for allowing it to experience the sensation of "pain," grants her self-healing abilities and the power to understand the language of anyone she speaks to. However, the effect of her healing ability has caused her body to stop aging, so she appears as a middle school student in Japan, and even younger in the other world. In the other world, Mitsuha utilizes the setting of being a "princess from another continent who has fled to this country to escape a succession dispute."
