At this time, Saotome Accounting Software’s president, Saotome Ranko, headhunts a student she met at the company’s briefing session and brings him on board. He is Ichijo Joe, a student who openly criticised the company’s products for being behind the times. In fact, Ichijo is one of those youths with excessively high self-esteem, that is a hot topic now.
