8''Tokyo Little Shop'' is basically an Anime continuation of ''Film/LittleShopOfHorrors'' created by TV Tropes's own Tropers/CabbitGirlEmi.
9
10The fanfic takes place in present day Tokyo and focuses on 15 year old Kazama Shohei, who has recently worked part time at the local flower shop with his closest friend and crush, Momokawa Hikari.
11
12One day, an enormous asteroid heads towards Earth, but thankfully, it burns up in the atmosphere and the shards shower down on Tokyo, one of them fusing with a butterwort/Venus flytrap hybrid, which Shohei later buys and dubs "Hikari II". Soon enough, Shohei learns that Hikari II feeds on his LifeEnergy, but it leaves him tired, so the plant adapts to eating bugs and meat.
