Even though Sasaki's fun-filled corporate life is constantly packed with work, it leaves him tired and dissatisfied at the end of each day. Seeking companionship to fill the void in his life, he visits a pet shop, unaware that he's about to change his life forever. After choosing a bird and bringing it home… his new roommate reveals himself to be an incredible sage from another world who promptly grants Sasaki supernatural powers, as well as the ability to travel between worlds. All Sasaki wants to do is use these newfound powers to live in peace and comfort.
