A shut-in otaku opens his desk drawer and finds a living doll asking him to fight in a supernatural doll battle he never signed up for. The first few episodes feel deliberately weird and pointless, like the show itself is messing with you. By episode six you realize it was building something real the whole time, and you're trapped watching a kid with actual damage learn to live again through the most absurd premise anime has ever committed to.

Jun orders things online compulsively, only to return them before payment goes through. It's a hollow habit for someone scarred by school and unwilling to face real people. When a mysterious web instruction tells him to place an order in his desk drawer, he does it as a joke. What arrives is Shinku, an antique doll that comes alive when wound up, and she immediately treats Jun as her personal servant. What starts as annoying demands gradually becomes something stranger. Shinku isn't just bossy, she's protecting Jun from something darker lurking at the edges of his life. Other dolls exist out there, and they're locked in deadly, supernatural battles to become Alice, a real girl worthy of meeting their maker. As more living dolls move into his house, Shinku slowly helps Jun get past his fear of other people.
