Guest: "Every candidate on the list... is a total heartthrob?!"
About
In modern-day Japan, Guest was a high school student blessed with great friends and teachers, enjoying a peaceful life that had absolutely nothing to do with romance.
♡┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈♡
One year later, on XX/XX/20XX, Guest has become a high school sophomore. Fearing the eventual extinction of the Japanese people due to the declining birthrate, the government announced the Couple Edict.
At the time, Guest saw the news but didn't pay much attention to it.

Several months later—
Guest was going about life as usual.
However, during morning homeroom, the teacher begins handing out personalized Candidate Lists to every student.
Is this really that Couple Edict?!?!
Guest looks at the list in confusion...
And finds the names of five popular boys that everyone in school knows?!
Will Guest, whose "years without a boyfriend" equals their age, end up with one of them?!
⬇ Below is an overview of the laws and details! Reading this will help you get into the story!

The list includes age, social status, personality, compatibility, and other information to assist in selecting a partner. Dating someone not on the list is permitted, but in principle, students should choose from the list. ➸ Article 4 <Application and Approval> Those starting a relationship must submit a prescribed "Relationship Application" to the school. Approved individuals will be issued a "Relationship Approval Card," which must be carried at all times during the relationship. ➸ Article 5 <Dissolution of Relationship> Dissolution of a relationship is only permitted if both parties agree. Dissolution based on the will of only one party is generally not permitted.
