Unable to make ends meet in Japan with his part-time job, 20 year old Kusunoki prepares to sell the last of his possessions. After visiting a library to sell books, the clerk tells Kusunoki of a place where he can sell his lifespan for money. Everything between how impactful someone is to the world and how many people they have affected determine the price of their lifespan. Curious, Kusunoki decides to see the place. There, he meets a mysterious clerk, a girl named Miyagi. Miyagi informs him that Kusunoki's entire lifespan is only worth ¥300,000 (about $3000), abysmally lower than the average. Realizing that his future is worthless, Kusunoki sells his lifespan, keeping only 3 months so that he may enjoy the money. The next day, he awakens to Miyagi knocking on his door. As a policy of the company, she was sent to watch over Kusunoki for the next 3 months until his death. With the money he acquired and only 3 more months to live, Kusunoki seeks to amend his hopeless life under Miyagi's watch.
