Arbitrary Infection 勝手に伝染るんです。 Katte ni utsurun desu.
This was a gag manga that was written to parody Sensha Yoshida's work. Takahashi even adapted her style to resemble his. The title is actually a modification of Yoshida's. His series of works is called Utusurun desu (You'll Get Infected), and Takahashi's story is a play on this.
