His sales performance at the company is the lowest, has no relationship history and is still a virgin at the age of 29. His only friend in life is his colleague at work, Tsukino.One day, a very cute woman named Akiyama joins the company and Hoshimura falls for her. Moreover, Akiyama is a big fan of the superhero Wild Virginia, of whom Hoshimura has loved since childhood. On the day before his 30th birthday, the staff at the company throw a welcome party for Akiyama at a local bar. There Akiyama is sexually harassed by their boss, Koikeay. Hoshimura tries to protect Akiyama, but gets beaten up badly instead. Then, out of nowhere a baboon creature appears, and Hoshimura and Akiyama flee, but as the clock ticks down to his 30th birthday, Hoshimura starts to feel strange powers brewing inside of him, and a connection to the mythical baboon creature.
