synopsis

When the villagers of Orn find themselves fed up with the eccentric Bee-Man and his ever-buzzing bees, they convince Sorcery Girl Sophia to transform him. Perfect timing, too, as she only has until nightfall to get her transformation merit badge! There’s just one catch: subjects have to agree to be transformed and the Bee-Man loves his life just the way it is. Sophia sets out to change that — and change him!  But when her misguided mission sets off a chain of events that puts all of Orn in danger, Sophia realizes that maybe she's the one who needs to change.
