Sugiyama Toshifumi was once successful ad man at a top advertising agency. He made a success of many projects and there was even a time where he was the darling of the period. Believing in his own power, he stomped out and thought of striking out on his own. But things did not go as well as he imagined. He could not get a job and just as Sugiyama was forsaken by even his wife and child, he was picked up by Ishii Kenichiro, the CEO of Universal Advertising, a small advertising firm, where he now works as copywriter. After a run of bad luck and the depressed economy, Universal Advertising was forced to relocate from its Tokyo office and eventually settles at a deserted shopping street of a small port town. However, even in such a lifeless place, there are troubles and small commissions, and therefore work. On the day of the move, they get a unreasonable demand from their main client unexpectedly. Will Sugiyama and the rest be able to overcome this crisis? This is the beginning of Universal Advertising’s new fight. |
