The initial episodes feel reminiscent of those shows where people auction off locker contents, allowing the buyer to do whatever they want with them. “Yoshii” (Masaki Suda) holds down a job that doesn’t quite satisfy him and shares a small apartment with his girlfriend “Akiko” (Kotone Furukawa). He makes money by buying items cheaply and reselling them online at higher prices. There's no concern for accuracy; he just finds creative ways to present things, claiming they are something they probably aren’t, relying on the safety of being anonymous to avoid consequences. Believing they can achieve success with their own auction site, he quits his job and launches what appears to be a profitable venture. As law enforcement begins to investigate, events start to become increasingly threatening, and some unhappy customers manage to locate him and resort to vigilante justice, seeking retribution in a rather brutal way. With only “Miyake” (Omane Okayama), his dependable and flexible assistant, seemingly on his side, things don’t look promising for this aspiring businessman as his electronic therapy devices reappear unexpectedly and disturbingly. Initially, the series is a tightly paced drama that highlights how little oversight there is when it comes to describing and selling goods online. Is this a criticism of a capitalist system taking advantage of people's lack of knowledge or one of consumers who anticipate getting the lowest possible price for quality? Perhaps it’s both; dishonest practices are evident on all sides. However, once the narrative shifts towards revenge, it descends into an improbable scenario resembling a video game, where the situations become progressively less believable, engaging, and repetitive. It brings up numerous questions about our interactions with and reliance on the internet, but ultimately seems unsure of what to do with those questions. The video game comparison might symbolize how director Kiyoshi Kurosawa resolves the story by essentially burying his head in a virtual world. The performances are unremarkable, and while it begins in an inventive way, it gradually loses momentum—as does the entire film. It’s unfortunate because there was promise here.
