One day, a pink rainbow flies into her room, and at the same time as the shock, a strange man dressed in outdated clothes appears. The man is actually a poet and a big fan of her, a scientist, and has ended up lost in the present day due to a malfunction of the time machine he made, but of course she has no idea about it. The man is surprised at the transformation of Tokyo, but what is even more surprising is that the woman in front of him is the spitting image of his girlfriend from his original world...
