Synopsis:

Seiji Aino’s quiet life is disrupted by the arrival of Guri, a peculiar girl burdened by a fantastical predicament. She claims a kiss is the only thing that can save her from an unknown fate, leading Seiji to an impulsive encounter with another individual. This seemingly innocent act unveils a hidden world governed by a mysterious "Kiss Note," capable of forcing romantic connections.

As Seiji navigates this bizarre reality, he attempts to forge a relationship with Akane Hiyama, only to uncover a darker side to her affections. Guri's desperate measures create unexpected pairings, thrusting Seiji and Akane into a strange new role as celestial matchmakers. The series explores themes of fate versus free will, the complexities of attraction, and the often-absurd consequences of impulsive decisions within an unusual, character-driven narrative.
