This manga is made up of a collection of short stories about Alice and Taifu. It shows the areas which Ushijima sensei is best at which are magical animals. The story itself is pretty simple, and I don't think you can develop it much into a longer storyline without repeating the plot quite a few times.

Furuhoshi Alice is an only child and she had always wanted a sibling, idealizing a better life with one. While walking home one day, she was hit with a soccer ball which rendered her unconscious. While in this state of limbo she dreamed that she was floating in the sky when a jewel like object hurled towards her hand. When she woke up she was lying in her bed with a furry object in her hand.

The object turned out to be a horned puppy like creature (personally I think it looks more like a cat), who claimed that he was god. Not "the" God, but a god. Apparently he was riding on the back of a water dragon when he bumped into Alice's metaphysical form. Deciding that it's best to make the best of the situation, Alice offered to take of the little god, naming him Taifu (Typhoon), since he eats his food like one.

It soon became apparent that though he may be tiny he can create trouble when not unsupervised. Taifu's powers are incredible and could be destructive when he is angry or upset. This is made worse because in so many ways he is a child, so imagine your average 6 year old throwing a tantrum that can destroy the world. Alice's realisation of her responsibility forces herself to grow up and acknowledge the fact that being an older sister may not always be as pleasant as she first thought it to be.

Furuhoshi Alice - an only child with aspiration of becoming at least an older sister.

Taifu - his mother is the all powerful goddess who runs the universe, but he himself is something of a disappointment. His powers are unmeasurable, and can often harm others.
