But behind the scenes, things aren't doing so well: despite moving into a new apartment and buying a new car, Jun's bills are just growing larger. Worst of all, the second season of his web comic is constantly criticized for its poor writing – even by Jun's own daughter. One day, Jun receives an anonymous email with an idea for a story.
