02② Karin, the accident-prone DNA operator from the future
Karin's flustered efforts to fix her mistake with Junta's DNA drive both the plot and the show's comedy.

The gap between mild-mannered, women-averse Junta and his DCM-bullet-triggered transformation into a woman-charming Mega Playboy is a major hook.

Ami, Junta's childhood friend who can't be honest about her feelings, adds a frustrating-but-sweet dynamic to the romantic comedy.
05⑤ Theme songs by L'Arc-en-Ciel and Sha-Ran Q
The OP 'Blurry Eyes' was one of the breakout hits for L'Arc-en-Ciel, while the ED 'Single Bed' by Sha-Ran Q became a hit in its own right.
