One day a dull university named Jiro (Keisuke Koide) celebrates his birthday all alone when a strange but beautiful girl he’s never met (Haruka Ayase) joins him and acts as if she already knows him well. She claims to be from the future, and vanishes that same night. Exactly one year later the girl returns, explaining that she’s a cyborg from the future sent to protect him. They spend time together and Jiro begins to have feelings for her, but since she can’t feel anything back he gets upset and sends her away. However, when a massive disaster rocks Tokyo she returns to fulfill her true purpose.
