In the near future, everyone will be assigned a spouse on their 16th birthday, chosen by the government based on genetic traits. The aim is to increase the birth rate and produce healthier and smarter children. But if you are not happy with your partner, you are forbidden to fall in love with others.
The rather average student Yukari Nejima decides never to marry others, including the girl Misaki Takasaki. But shortly before his 16th birthday, Neji Misaki confesses his love for her, which is even reciprocated. But shortly afterwards he is assigned Ririna Sanada as his partner and Misaki turns away from him. Neji doesn't want to accept that. Ririna, who has never been in love before, but has a romantic disposition, lets Neji do it in his further attempts at contact with Misaki.
