Plot

Misono Kari is one of the senior high school students who has a crush on her teacher, Toono. She tries all means to get close to him, including believing that a magic spell could make her teacher fall in love with her. Misono had an enemy, a boy named Shindou Wataru who likes skating around on a skateboard and frequently teases her. He said that she was like a kid because she believes in magic spells. However, the taunting did not deter Misono from trying get Toono. According to the magic spell, if you kiss someone while with eating mint candy, you and that person can be one. Therefore, after school, Misono tried to kiss Toono, but instead kissed Shindou, who was walking down the stairs when Misono made her attempt to kiss Toono. After that, Misono's spirit left her body and moved to Shindou's body, thus fulfilling the magic trick's effect of "being one".

Therefore, they did a lot of things together, which allowed them to get to know each other better. In addition, when Misono, who is still in Shindou's body, confessed her feeling to Toono, he thought that it was Shindou who said that and accepted it. Misono was shocked by this knowledge that Toono was gay, and she also felt stupid.

Meanwhile, Misono's body was dying. This is because after her spirit was moved to Shindou's body, her body will lose everything. At her funeral, Shindou tried revive her by kissing her dead body while eating a mint candy. It was a success and Misono's spirit was back into her own body again. After that, they suddenly kissed each other with mint candies in her mouth and they became one again.
