Plot Summary
Junta Momonari suffers from an allergy towards beautiful girls, the better looking they are the worse he is. Tomoko Saeki teases Junta out of spite but ends up feeling rejected when Junta gets sick. Meanwhile the mysterious Aoi Karin travels through time to hunt for the infamous mega-playboy. A man responsible for polluting the gene pool of the future and causing his descendants to overpopulate the earth, basically a walking sex god.
Karin finds Junta, and believing him to be the mega-playboy, she shoots him with a DNA changing bullet, the DMC. She believes her job is done until she discovers she used the wrong bullet, having accidentally shot him with a bullet meant for her possible future husband. Karin finds that she is responsible for creating the mega-playboy.
That night Junta makes his way to Tomoko, knowing that Tomoko is using him to spite her boyfriend, Ryuji Sugashita. Junta tries to settle things with her yet Tomoko asks for forgiveness when she sees him transform into the mega-playboy. She decides to break up with her boyfriend upon falling for the newly transformed Junta. Albeit the Mega-playboy transformation is unstable and Junta can only keep up the persona at random times.
Karin attempts to set up Junta with his childhood friend, Ami Kurimoto, hoping that through monogamy she can counter Junta's transformation. Yet Junta starts falling for Karin whilst Tomoko falls for Junta. Junta goes shopping for a necklace to buy Karin but ends up going on an impromptu shopping date with Tomoko, who believes the necklace is for herself. Ryuji organises thugs to attack Junta yet they aim to attack the beautiful Tomoko instead. Can Junta / Mega-playboy defend himself and the woman who adores him?
