Terminally ill and with little time left to live, Shikano-in Seiichi unexpectedly gains the [Emotional Value System], giving him new hope.
As long as he provides emotional value to his mission targets, he can earn value points and exchange them for items that extend his life.
Clinging to this slim hope of staying alive, Shikano-in Seiichi becomes an "emotional value provider," specializing in providing emotional support to young women.
On Saturdays, he helps a cool, mature beauty dispel her loneliness, drinks with her, and eases her troubles.
He pretends to be the campus beauty's high-quality boyfriend, handwrites her love letters, and confesses his feelings on a rooftop in the bloom of youth.
He becomes a devoted reader to a literary girl, playing all kinds of roles to inspire her with fresh ideas.
In every transaction, Shikano-in Seiichi provides the very best service, making sure his clients receive plenty of emotional value.
But gradually, he notices that the value points earned from the same mission target are dwindling, and he has no choice but to seek new targets.
When he stops providing these people with his services, he realizes that something is not quite right.
It was supposed to be just a transaction, so why do they seem to have taken it seriously?
The cool, mature beauty turns out to be extremely controlling and wants to keep him all to herself.
The glamorous, radiant campus beauty is actually a hardcore shut-in, and to keep him, she even bares her soul to him.
The so-called literary girl makes increasingly bizarre demands, even trying to force him to comply at knifepoint.
Shikano-in Seiichi remains unmoved. Staying alive is his goal, and he will not stop for anyone.
"I'm deeply sorry to have made you sad.
But, miss, the emotional service you ordered expired a long time ago."
