A bittersweet high school romance built on the paradox of persistent devotion to someone who cannot remember you, balancing weekly reset comedy with genuine emotional depth.

High school sophomore Yūki Hase noticed that Kaori Fujimiya, his classmate, was always alone. He tried to start a conversation with her but was turned down: "My memories of friendship can last only a week," she said. Despite of knowing this shocking truth, Yūki keeps trying to be Kaori's "new" friend every week.
