What happens when love gets in the way of fate? Sometimes it's funny, but it's ALWAYS bewildering.

When the marks touch, they catch a glimpse of their shared past, though what they see doesn't always match. Tsubame insists that he and Kanoko are fated to be together. By the time Kanoko finds out it's not true, it's too late: she's already fallen for him.
