Synopsis:

In a near future grappling with severe overpopulation, a temporal agent named Karin is tasked with preventing a catastrophic historical divergence. Her mission: to stop Junta Momonari from evolving into a figure infamous for his prolific romantic life and its devastating consequences on global resources. However, her intervention takes an unexpected turn when a misdirected projectile triggers unforeseen genetic alterations in Junta.

Instead of preventing the future, Karin inadvertently unleashes a series of unpredictable transformations, granting Junta the ability to irresistibly charm women. The narrative follows Karin's struggle to rectify her error before the changes become permanent, navigating a world where societal expectations and personal desires collide with the potential for widespread chaos. The story explores themes of causality, unintended consequences, and the complexities of altering the past.
