DNA²

A girl with a gun steps out of a time machine. Her name is Karin, she works with DNA, and the future sent her back to stop one teenage boy from fathering a hundred kids and drowning the planet in people. Simple job. Find Junta Momonari, make sure he never turns into the legendary Mega-Playboy, go home. Then she actually meets him. Junta can barely say hello to a girl without breaking out in a rash. He is the least playboy person alive. Karin fires anyway, and grabs the wrong bullet. Now some switch inside him flips without warning, and the sweaty, panicking kid suddenly oozes the kind of charm that makes every woman nearby forget her own name. He doesn't control it. Neither does she. Karin has to undo the mess before the new Junta becomes permanent, dodging the consequences of every charm spike while the clock runs down. Can she fix a boy who was never supposed to be broken in the first place?
