the following story takes place in a suburban community in japan, there is no specific information to exactly where this community is, so it is fictional. this community is mixed in with both japanese and ghetto culture to make it humorous and unique. the protagonist is a 23-year old college dropout (ono naoko) who makes a living working at a local convenience store across from his apartment complex.
during the beginning of winter, naoko is casually working at the cash register at the convenience store. as his shift was about to end and he went out back to take out the trash, he noticed a pair of broken headphones lying at the bottom of the dumpster. he was interested at the pair of headphones and proceeded to take them with him home. as he began to fix it, he noticed that the parts inside of it were strange and sort of alien to the technology today. after fixing the headphones, naoko puts them on to see how it looked and before he knew it, the connector/jack came to life and lunged towards the back of his neck, stabbing into his spine. he blacks out and falls out of his chair...
an hour later, naoko wakes up feeling discombobulated and confused. his memory is hazed and appearance changed a bit. his whole life has been changed and his previous self has been wiped from existance. it was all from the strange headphones that attacked him, the connector is plugged into a socket artificially created where he was stabbed and he is one with the headphones. naoko gained the ability to put his connector into another persons' spine, where their spiritual socket is. once he connects into the person, he can read their mind, mind-control them, change them, etc.
naoko slowly adapts to his new-different life, gradually having flashbacks from his previous self and gaining a reputation with the community...
