Synopsis:

Ichiko Sakura enjoys a life of effortless prosperity, seemingly blessed with an unending stream of good fortune. This idyllic existence is disrupted by Momiji Binboda, a deity associated with poverty, who reveals the unsettling truth behind Ichiko's luck: it comes at the expense of others. Tasked with restoring balance, Momiji seeks to reclaim the stolen fortune before widespread misfortune ensues.

Joined by the enigmatic monk Bobby Statice, Ichiko must confront Momiji and her unconventional allies – a teddy bear familiar and a dog god with unusual proclivities. The narrative explores themes of causality, societal imbalance, and the complex relationship between fortune and hardship. As Ichiko’s carefully constructed world unravels amidst escalating supernatural conflicts, she is forced to adapt and fight for her very survival in a realm where luck is both a gift and a burden.
