Kotaro is enthusiastic about taking part in the upcoming toy design competition at his company, despite having a boss, Kataoka, who appears passionate but is actually an idiot who does not listen to others.

Kotaro's proposed project is deemed a success and his co-worker, Kaneko, is jealous of him. As they work together, Kotaro finds himself constantly held back by Kaneko's negative attitude and lack of productivity.

As Kotaro attempts to negotiate a toy license with manga artist Shion Miyanishi, he is thrown off by her unexpected reaction. For some reason, she seems to believe that he is approaching her with romantic intentions.
