Synopsis

edit

Aoi Nemo is a medical genius and prodigy who has invented useful equipment and has had his work published in magazines. While he is suave and debonair in public, he longs for love and fears that his work will prevent him from achieving it. One day he meets Kiruru Akaumi and falls madly in love with her. Unfortunately, he is unable to speak directly to her unless it is in a planned business or social affair. When he learns that she is an assassin, he decides to hire her to assassinate himself so that he can freely "converse" with her; using his genius medical skills to save himself should he be close to death.
