The Cultural Research Club’s five members—Taichi, Iori, Himeko, Yui, and Yoshifumi—experience an inexplicable event when Yoshifumi and Yui suddenly swap bodies. This phenomenon soon extends to the other club members, disrupting their everyday routines. Initially, the students find some amusement in the confusion, but this uninvited connection quickly brings to light the emotional wounds each of them carries.

The unpredictable body switching forces them to confront their deepest insecurities and desires, fundamentally altering their individual perspectives and their relationships with one another. The unfolding drama explores how these supernatural occurrences impact their journey of self-discovery and the evolving dynamics of their friendships and romantic feelings.
