Synopsis:

The series follows Taishi, a devoted otaku with a singular vision: to transform the world through fan comics. He enthusiastically pulls his more grounded friend Kazuki into this vibrant, competitive subculture, thrusting him into the chaotic atmosphere of a large-scale comic convention. Disoriented by the sheer energy and diverse community, Kazuki must navigate a world of passionate creators, discerning buyers, and elaborate costumes.

Alongside Kazuki's reluctant journey is Mizuki, his childhood companion, who struggles to reconcile her friend’s newfound obsession with their shared past. The narrative explores themes of pursuing passion versus maintaining normalcy, friendship tested by ambition, and the surprising power found within creative expression. It presents a lively glimpse into the intricacies of fan culture, blending comedic situations with moments of introspective character development.
