Miku is about to commit suicide by throwing herself from the roof of the school she attends but she is rescued by a couple, Hana and Runa, and the three become friends. Miku reveals her family problem only to Hana, leaving Runa unsettled by their intimacy. Meanwhile, a rumor of a \u201clove potion\u201d circulates. The rumour suggests that the love potion would make a person pledge eternal love, but it also has side effects if love isn\u2019t shared between people.

Writer\/director YAMADA Kaho\u2019s story harkens back to IKUHARA Kunihiko\u2019s works as it uses a mix of magic, melodrama, and anime-inspired aesthetics in drab reality to depict the quietly ferocious and sometimes transient nature of love.
