Hailed as “the red thread of science,” it is a universally accepted policy that promises fulfilling lives for those who adhere and punishes those who oppose it.
At 16, time is running out for Yukari Nejima, who decides to confess her love to the beautiful and popular Misaki Takasaki, whom she has loved for five years. To her surprise, Misaki reacts to her feelings, but just as the couple is sharing an intimate moment, Yukari receives her message from the government. He will marry his assigned partner, the outspoken Ririna Sanada, and will now immerse himself in a world of love and lies while still trying to convince himself that his feelings are the right path.
