Story

A comedy taking place in an urban setting revolving around a yakuza and a psychic!

Yoshifumi Nitta is an intelligent member of the Ashikawa yakuza family. He had spent his days with his beloved clan members living a life of leisure as a bachelor until a girl who was hidden inside a mysterious object appears in front of him. Threatened by this girl named Hina, he ends up living in the same house with her! Whether it be at school or anywhere related to the yakuza, Hina does whatever she wants and causes chaos. This makes Nitta hold his head in his hands in frustration, but because of his doting personality, he always ends up cleaning up after her. What's going to happen to Nitta's life? The dangerous but peaceful days of a nice outlaw and a selfish psychic begin!
