The anime is an adventure-comedy series centered around the middle-aged Sasaki, who is tired of his 9-to-5 job and craves some kind of distraction. In search of such a thing, he visits the nearest pet shop, looking for something that could help him forget about the world whenever he arrives home.

Fortunately, an adorable bird catches his eye, and he brings it home. He names his new roommate Pii-chan, and their happy life is about to start when Pii-chan is revealed as a sage from another world. This sage grants Sasaki supernatural powers and bestows him the ability to cross different worlds.

Sasaki tries his best to help as many people as possible using these powers. He also fights some villainous personalities, thus trying his best to establish peace in both worlds.
