Set in a post-COVID world, Sawai Ryuichi is one half of a comedy duo Orenchi and plays the funny man.

Nevertheless, he continues to be an entertainer with an improvised comedy programme called Orenchi Channel that he streams live online. He has an AI robot that does everything it is asked from ordering meals to cleaning. In addition, it learns Sawai’s funny man routine and grows into the role of his partner for the programme.
