Synopsis:
The narrative centers on a man named Uncle, whose life revolves around self-serving pursuits and a peculiar ability to assess women's hip sizes. His mundane existence is dramatically altered when he’s transported to a fantastical realm and granted powers by the Space Peace Republic Alliance Hero Committee. However, this transformation comes with a significant drawback: he is now physically repulsive, concealing his identity.
Estranged from his daughter, Min-chan, who rejects him due to his changed appearance, Uncle embarks on a journey to prove his identity. He finds an unlikely companion in his eccentric neighbor, Yamada-san, and together they navigate a world of strange enemies and allies. The series blends action with comedic elements, exploring themes of familial bonds, self-acceptance, and the unexpected burdens of heroism within a vibrant, otherworldly setting.
