About

A young man fired from his job is arrested after a desperate attempt to recover, until a chance encounter offers a lifeline.

Reito Naoi, voiced by Fumiya Takahashi, is a young man who is fired unfairly from his day job. A desperate attempt to get back on his feet leads to his arrest, and he reaches rock bottom.
