Todome no Kiss

Handsome Dojima Outaro, who goes by the professional name Eito, is the no. 1 host of the host club Narcissus in Kabukicho. He makes females swoon with false love. But once they run out of money, he carelessly tosses them away. He is a scumbag with a distorted perspective on love even though he looks like a kind gentleman. Outaro appears to lead a lavish life. However, he pinches pennies and lives simply because he needs a lot of money for some reason. On Christmas Eve, Outaro hears from a fellow host Osanai Kazuma that Namiki Mikoto, the daughter of a hotelier whose assets are said to be worth 10 billion yen, has come to Narcissus. He sets his sights on Mikoto who will be a suitable source of money. However, when he goes to the gents, a scary woman with red rouge shows up. She steals a kiss all of a sudden. He is immediately stricken with breathing difficulties, full-body seizures, and heart palpitations until finally, he dies. When Outaro regains consciousness, a familiar scene from a week ago is right in front of him. The recurring feeling of deja vu from situations he has already experienced confuses him. He tries to take a different approach with Mikoto this time. But he once again dies from this unpredictable, elusive woman’s kiss. Each time this happens, time loops back. On the third Christmas Eve, Outaro flees from her surprise attack. In the morning, Nezu Koichi from a detective agency appears at Outaro’s apartment and he is informed that his mother had asked Nezu to search for his younger brother Kota. In fact, Outaro had a traumatising accident in the past. 12 years ago, he took Kota and snuck onto a Christmas cruise on the cruise ship Prometheus which his father captained. Unfortunately the ship capsized and the boys were caught up in the accident. He does not love anyone as a result of this incident, and is an aloof person who only cares about social climbing … … On New Year’s Eve, Outaro and Kazuma succeed in attending the Namiki family’s horse riding club party. Outaro learns that Mikoto is being forced into an arranged introduction for a strategic marriage. In the midst of this, Mikoto’s older brother Takauji saves Outaro from an attack by a rampaging horse at a stall in the stable. Outaro steps into the social circle gathered around the Namiki family. As a host, he is despised by the high society people including Mikoto’s childhood friend Hasebe Hiroyuki, the son of a distinguished family, and Hotei Michinari, a member of the horse riding club. But this is his chance to get close to Mikoto to attain wealth and power. However, the woman who kills with a kiss appears as if to hinder him. As time loops back again, Outaro confides his experiences to a street musician Harumi Ittoku who helped him run away from her. Harumi says Outaro’s experiences are time travel. Who is this mysterious woman and what is her objective for relentlessly hindering him?
