Plot

Kanade Amakusa is a high school student who is suffering from a curse called "Absolute Choices". This curse requires him to select an action from a list of two or three options that appear before him at any time. He has no control over what choices appear. Many of them are weird or perverse and as a result, the curse has tainted his reputation with his classmates and other people around him, making his life difficult. However, one day, a choice he makes on his way home from school causes a mysterious, beautiful, young girl to fall from the sky. Amakusa discovers that she was sent from the God World to assist him in completing a series of missions given to him directly by God himself. After completing these missions, the "Absolute Choices" curse will be lifted from Amakusa; but should he fail in completing any of the missions, he will be stuck with the curse forever.
As the story progresses, the options change, such as a new option suddenly appearing, or the options suddenly disappearing before a choice is made, or even giving chances to decline all options. According to Amakusa, the three types of options are: options that force the person to take certain actions, options that alter other people physically or mentally who will not retain the memory afterward, and options that have unpredictable outcomes.
