The story starts off with a pretty simple story setup, a NEET becoming a member of society and finding a job. Except the company he finds himself in is far from normal. Instead of an office job that most Japanese people get in, he gets drafted into the supernatural world as an exorcist.

As you know, Japan does have a population of NEETs. As far as I know, they're pretty much in some of the populated areas of Japan. Making themselves right at home in isolated rooms in specialized cafes and just staying there to do whatever. Don't take my word for it though as it isn't up-to-date in regards to Japan's problems. In this day and age though, both the job market and inflation in recent times have caused a lot of people to regress quite a bit and become shut-ins and/or NEETs. Lots of layoffs and a competitive job market has done a lot of harm.

So, it is pretty obvious that a company being run by a puppy supervising a demon and a skeleton goes as well as you'd expect. Serving as a Deconstruction, Keijirou dies in what is essentially considered assault on a minor as the person they're trying to exorcize. What did you expect of Keijirou, a NEET with no work experience let alone combat skills to survive a job where danger lurks everywhere?

Like the good co-workers they are, they mock him even in death. But they didn't know that he is the son of Shoujirou Sakata, the CEO of their company. Instead of bringing him to a priest and reviving him like a normal human being would do, they bring in their in-house necromancer to bring him back to life.

As expected, his revival goes very wrong and serves as another Deconstruction. They revived him as a zombie and he unexpectedly starts chewing up people like items on a menu in front of his father. Then as if a boomerang, he comes back to the group and bites them like karma would.

His father hires an assassin to kill his son because he's changed way too much - but that is expected because his company turned him into a zombie instead of bringing him to a priest. But Keijirou comes around and chases his father and swiftly deals with the assassin. As soon as he corners his father, the zombie boy confesses his feelings of neglect and starts a heart-to-heart conversation. Just as they're about to patch up, the assassin nukes them.

As a plot twist, the entire story is made up by the real Keijirou. Using the made-up story to warn his father of why becoming a functional member of society is a bad idea for him, and why he should remain a NEET for the rest of his life.

Just like what happened in the made-up story, the demon and skeleton come to exorcize someone. That someone is of course Keijirou. They ended up hospitalizing him instead because their method of exorcism is all about beating up people.

Our protagonist is of course Keijirou, both versions of him to boot. Made-up Keijirou serves as the Decoy Protagonist with the real Keijirou as the true protagonist of the story. Made-up Keijirou is as you'd expect, your garden-variety NEET who is a Fish out of Water, and a nice guy to boot. But he devolves into insanity right after he dies, becoming a menace to society as a man-eating zombie. I like him alot better as a zombie because of how much of a driving force he becomes.

The real Keijirou is of course a far cry from his made-up version, for he actually wants to be a lazy good-for-nothing NEET. Boy wants to avoid working in society so he can mooch off his dad for the rest of his life. It is too bad some elements of his story are actually true.

As you know, Character Development is one of the few things that Kuniko Takahashi does not regularly do. While there is a sense of Continuity between the entries - no two characters with the same name are the same. A number of the characters you see in the series are either reused in side and/or minor roles with many of them being former protagonists of their respective videos. In fact, Keijirou appears in the next entry without any mention of the previous story that he starred in.

Onto the supporting cast, I'll condense it a little bit since this is centered on the company that made-up Keijirou joins. They are a company that made-up Keijirou's father owns, and their choice to revive made-up Keijirou drives the second half of the story.

Then you have made-up Shoujirou Sakata and the real Shoujirou Sakata - both of which act very similar to each other despite the latter barely having an screentime whatsoever. The only difference between the two of them is how they deal with their respective Keijirou. Both are understandable people with relatable reasons.

You also have the girl that totally floored Keijirou and that assassin dude that made-up Keijirou floored.

An entry that goes from a relatively Fish Out Of Water story into a horror film, deconstructing and playing straight a few tropes regarding both Keijirous and the company the made-up Keijirou joins. The story for the first half is driven by Gamigin and Father Jacob with the second half being made-up Keijirou's descent into being a zombie.

As mentioned, I like zombie Keijirou since he drives pretty much the entire story once he starts becoming hungry for flesh. As for Gamigin and Father Jacob, they're literally street thugs beating the crap out of people. They are of course undead so naturally they can't perform exorcism with magic, so their fists are on the table.

The deconstructive aspects are good enough for a laugh.
