[ Story ]
Based on a popular manga of the same title. A dowdy, sidetracked assistant manager at Denodo, a Publicity Agency, by day, transforms into an invincible superhero once he is on a secret mission. Despite the bizarre setting, this is a hard-boiled story which portrays the dark side of modern society. Its TV drama version, which started in 2003, has maintained high ratings, and this is the first film adaptation. Tadano (Takahashi Katsunori) is assigned by the chairman Kurokawa (Umemiya Tatsuo) to protect and check the personal affairs of a young idol, Sylvia (Akiyama Rina), who is the main character at the "Flower Earth Festival 2008" organized by Denodo. Sylvia has been threatened by someone to resign from the main character role. Tadano starts investigating while supporting Yamanishi (Akai Hidekazu), the event organizer. However, Tadano is struck down by a mysterious giant of a man (Choi Hong Man). Yamanishi, who has obtained important information, is murdered, and Sylvia is kidnapped. Tadano realizes that Anzai (Hasegawa Hatsunori), Yamanishi's right-hand man who has been eyeing the chairmanship, is the mastermind behind this. Tadano rescues Sylvia and brings her to the event venue.
