With an apocalypse that never happened and a less-than-desirable skill set, would-be hero Ken is stuck looking for a job just like every other unemployed schmuck in Japan. And frankly, he doesn't interview well. Things start to look up when he stumbles across an opening at a convenience store, but unfortunately he'll have to deal with two contentious contenders if he wants the job: his own brothers Toki and Raoh, who're just as dimwitted and muscle-headed as the mighty Ken himself.
