Plot Outline: When an unconfident young woman is cursed with an old body by a spiteful witch, her only chance of breaking the spell lies with a self-indulgent yet insecure young wizard and his companions in his legged, walking home.
Plot: A love story between an 18-year-old girl named Sof?, cursed by a witch into an old womans body, and a magician named Hauru. Under the curse, Sof? sets out to seek her fortune, which takes her to Haurus strange moving castle. In the castle, Sophie meets Haurus fire demon, named Karishif?. Seeing that she is under a curse, the demon makes a deal with Sophie–if she breaks the contract he is under with Hauru, then Karushif? will lift the curse that Sophie is under, and she will return to her 18-year-old shape.
