Plot
Cupids are immortal, winged beings that resemble angels and whose chief goal is to help humans fall in love. They are humans who have died without ever experiencing love themselves. While Cupids of the past used bows and arrows similar to those found in Roman mythology, present-day Cupids use modern weapons such as guns and grenades.Koharu Sakurada is a 15-year-old Cupid who died in an accident that occurred five years prior to the start of the story. Alongside her mentor, Kanna, and fellow Cupids Chiyo and Ena, she shoots people deemed to be potential couples in order to make them fall in love with each other. Completing this task earns the Cupids karma, and earning enough karma will grant them a second chance at life.
