Sasaki Kuranosuke and Tsukaji Muga are Akinobu and Tetsunobu Mamiya, two brothers with decidedly dead-end jobs - one is a beer taster and the other a school janitor - who nonetheless live mostly fulfilling lives. After each day of nine-to-five drudgery, the two retire to their shared apartment, which doubles as a shrine to their pet obsessions, and entertain themselves in various otaku-familiar ways. Movies, manga, crossword puzzles, sports - life is a hobby-filled paradise for the Mamiya brothers. However, there's also love - or the lack of it. Both brothers still maintain a healthy interest in the opposite sex, and find targets in the form of teacher Kuzuhara (gorgeous J-drama queen Tokiwa Takako) and adorable video store clerk Naomi (idol Sawajiri Erika). The Mamiya brothers make their move, but all manner of obstacles crop up, including romantic rivals, work issues, and just plain bad luck. Can the Mamiya Brothers get the girls, keep their hobbies, and live the ultimate otaku dream?
