One autumn evening at an enigmatic ramen stand near the Shimogamo Shrine, a solitary third-year college student collides with a man possessing an eggplant-shaped head who claims to be the deity of matrimony. This encounter prompts the student to reminisce about his past two years at university, which were marked by bitterness as he and his friend Ozu, a ghastly-looking individual seemingly hellbent on making life miserable for him, attempted to break up couples on campus. Determined to make the most of the remainder of his college experience, the student endeavors to ask out Akashi, an unsociable yet compassionate underclassman, but fails to follow through, causing him to lament not living out his college years differently. As soon as this thought crosses his mind, however, he is suddenly transported back in time and space to the beginning of his university journey and given a fresh opportunity to live life on campus.
