Plot
As science is growing every close to the taboo field of regenerative medicine, a mysterious new student named Maki Togawa begins attending the International Dolly Girls' College (国際ドリー女学園 Kokusai Dorī Onna Gakuen). Soon after, a series of strange and horrific events occur in and around the school as a student named Kaoru Isozaki finds herself learning that Maki was initially killed in a hit and run until she was revived by her father Dr. Akihito Seto with an experimental procedure developed by an American scientist. But Seto learned too late of the side effects on Maki's cellular tissue, turning her into the patient zero of a new virus administered via kiss which renders females able to regenerate indefinitely with some side effects.
