Seiji is tasked with showing Guri how to properly utilize her Kiss Note, which magically brings couples together, and teaching her all about true love.

She convinces Seiji to go kiss his crush, Akane Hiyama, the school's popular girl, who turns out to harbor even stronger feelings for him, bordering on obsessive and psychotic.
