Ever since she was a little girl, Iikuma wanted to be a comedian. She's followed that dream all her life, and her act did well back home in Kansai, but now she's in Tokyo still waiting for her big break. After a livestream slip-up gets her voluptuous body some online attention, a director approaches her with a proposition—have sex with him, and he'll get her prime time TV appearances and all the professional connections she could ever ask for. Iikuma wants people to appreciate her jokes, not her jugs, but determined not to back down from her chance at the spotlight, she reluctantly starts sleeping her way to the top. Will she be able to make it to the big time? And what will it cost her to get there?
