Takeshi Koganei is a salaryman employed in the accounting department of a small-to-medium-sized company. He lives paycheck to paycheck, carefully stretching his modest salary to cover daily expenses. Secretly, despite his tight finances, he regularly visits cabaret clubs, keeping this habit hidden from his employer. His persistent attempts to charm the hostesses are consistently thwarted by his lack of money, as the club environment favors customers with greater financial means. To afford these visits, he often depends on discount tickets, frequently seen dashing towards the clubs while clutching these coupons.
