An ordinary office worker is reincarnated as Leon into a particularly punishing dating sim video game, where women reign supreme and only beautiful men have a seat at the table.

Watch Leon spark a revolution to change this new world in order to fulfill his ultimate desire...of living a quiet, easy life in the countryside!
