"Shy" + "Lonesome" + "Chicken" = Shlocken?! In an attempt to rally against his "no longer human" nature, shut-in Shoutarou Kominami manages to rouse himself out of his house to secure gainful employment. In a stroke of good fortune, he ends up getting hired by a psychologist who's promised to help him cast off the shackles of his shlocken personality! If it sounds too good to be true, that's because it is. Shoutarou's new "psychologist" employer is actually just a gag manga artist content to exploit this pathetic soul for story ideas!
