Gene Bride Vol. 1 is a sci-fi drama about a woman fed up with workplace misogyny and the man she just happened to be matched with in a middle school experiment.

Isahaya Ichi is navigating a world where she's underestimated at work because of her gender and faces sexual harassment. She is sick of dealing with men. However, her life takes an unexpected turn when her former classmate, Masaki, unexpectedly shows up.

Masaki claims to be the other half of her "destined pair" from a junior high school event called Gene Bride, where genetic information matched students into couples for a day. Although Ichi barely remembers the event, Masaki's sudden reappearance sparks a journey of rediscovery and unearths buried secrets.
