By day, Kano Nakamura is an ordinary office lady -- but in her private time, she’s a full-blown tokusatsu otaku! Obsessed with live action dramas of heroes, monsters, and robots, Kano has tailored her mentality to be as determined as the fictional heroes she admires, especially when times are tough. But being an adult otaku is difficult; Kano’s co-workers think people obsessed with things like tokusatsu and anime are childish, and carry on trying to make Kano socialize when all she wants to do is go home to her dramas! Will Kano be able to achieve her perfect life?
