Sayaka Ni Hoshi Ha Kirameki

[Machine Translation] Many years have passed since our mother planet Earth became an uninhabitable planet. Dogs and cats that left the earth together with human beings evolved into new human beings, Inubito (dog people) and Nekobito (cat people), and lived together with the "old human" humans in the sea of stars. Catherine, an editor of Nekobito living on the moon, is assigned to create "a book that will be a gift to all mankind" for a publishing company established as a commemorative project of a newspaper company, and collects Christmas legends passed down in space. She collects Christmas legends from all over the universe, including "Guardian Angel," about a miracle performed by God for a pioneer girl on a distant planet; "The Magic Ship," about the birth of a space sailing ship that carries songs, movies, and dramas across the galaxy; and "A Witch's Story," about the interaction between a girl and an alien on Earth in the past. A series of short stories filled with love for humanity.
