A story set in the near future, concerning a middle-aged loser whose sole refuge is a virtual bishoujo game. The protagonist, Takurou, is a stereotypical adult male with low self-esteem and a dead-end job. Feeling he has nothing to live for, he lets himself go, becoming fat, miserable, and lonely. The only bright spot in his life is the occasional visit to a brothel, where his savings allow him to avoid being completely sexless. It is then that a friend from real life introduces him to the virtual reality world of "The Unreal." There, after spending over $6000 on equipment, one can purchase a virtual girlfriend who thinks only of you. However, the girl Takurou buys, Tsukiko, seems to have come with a few defects.
