Story
Osaka. Takeuchi Shigeru is extremely nice and diligent. He cannot socialise well because of his personality and even gets rejected for the part-time jobs that he interviewed for. With barely any money and at his wits end, he happens to meet Takarada Tomikazu, the president of a company he had worked at. He recalls that he was not paid his salary by this company and requests for it in desperation. However, Takarada feigns innocence. On top of that, Takeuchi is brushed off by the lawyer Tonomura Kenichiro at the law firm that he rushes into. Reaching the end of his rope, Takeuchi unexpectedly arrives at a Mexican restaurant called Alivio where restaurant manager Kurihara Risa provides a financial consultation service. Risa is studying to become a lawyer. She set up the service in the restaurant to help people who have money problems because she was involved in great financial trouble in the past. This encounter with Risa leads Takeuchi to help her and together they confront all sorts of money problems.
