About the Game

――“Someone like me could never be useful to anyone.”

Meet Kanade Kawasumi — a deeply insecure shut‑in NEET who has never fit into society.

After a disastrous investment leaves him drowning in debt, he hatches a shocking plan:

commit a crime, go to jail, and live off free meals.

His target? Nagisa Shimizu, the part‑time convenience store worker who once laughed at him.

But on the day he strikes… a suspiciously massive man shows up —

and in a bizarre twist, Kanade accidentally saves her.

Even stranger, Nagisa greets him by calling out a character name from her favorite game!?

Thus begins a wild ride of misfits, misunderstandings, and

dark comedy meets outrageous romance!

▍Characters

The reluctant protagonist.

A NEET whose only income came from investments —until one failed gamble buried him in debt.

Too timid and self‑conscious to hold a job, he plans to get himself arrested…

but unwittingly becomes a hero instead.

The bubbly heroine who works part‑time at a convenience store.

She develops an instant crush on Kanade, though her dramatic reactions often cause confusion around her.

Recently trailed by a sketchy giant man, she believes Kanade is her savior after he intervenes.
