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

Finally, the work has an adaptation by Pureji Osho published on the ComicWalker website. Further production details and the release date will be announced soon.
