Plot
The series revolves around Tarou Kurume, a boy who is not interested in love. One day, he is hit on the head by a baseball during a P.E. class, leaving him with a severe concussion. When he wakes up at the infirmary, he is welcomed by a pink-haired, cheerful, well-endowed and scantily clad girl who is seemingly floating in the air. Not only that, he starts to see similar "ghosts" around countless boys, and finds out that they are fantasized versions of the first girl they loved, with the floating zombie above Tarou representing his first love.
