Uramichi is a 31-year old children’s TV host who leads physical exercises and teaches life lessons colored by one main theme: adulthood sucks. Alongside mascots played by a couple of bushy-tailed millennials, and a singing duo whose music embodies the notion of being kicked while you’re down, Uramichi wades through the misery of working life, one sardonic comment at a time…
While grappling with unexpected overtime, unreasonable working conditions, and unflattering costumes, URAMICHI makes the acquaintance of other jaded professionals working deep behind the scenes. Digital strategist SAITO and merchandising whiz HANBEI almost seem like kindred spirits, but their respective bad attitude and worse temper keep the doors to URAMICHI’s fragile heart firmly shut. There must be someone out there who understands…right?
Despite his best efforts, Uramichi continues to find himself at the mercy of the outrageous demands of his fellow coworkers and management. Whether it’s looking after someone’s pet or younger sibling, or drumming up new designs for Hanbei’s merch, the paths to escape responsibility are too few and far between. Then, just as he’s reaching for a lifeline during one of his most grueling days yet, his old college acquaintance Nekota appears. Could someone with such a different take on adulthood be Uramichi’s salvation?
How did the cynical Uramichi end up hosting a TV show for small children? And how long is the studio going to let him keep teaching the kids the sorrow and exhaustion of life instead of, say, the ABCs? This dark comedy manga started as a webcomic and became a bestseller across Japan -- with an anime coming soon!

Time comes for us all-including URAMICHI's poor back muscles. While contending with an aging body and brutally honest kids may all be in a day's work for him, dealing with a happy-go-lucky con artist sure isn't! As URAMICHI is unwillingly dragged into another one of HANBEI's desperate attempts to meet upper management at the bare minimum, MITSUO and HACHITA are standing by to help with pure disinterest and an onslaught of painful truths.
