Plot
Amaragi Mitsusada is a student who tries to find the positives in everything including negative situations. One day while returning from school, he suddenly noticed a new application on his phone called Parashop. He gets a message telling him that he can buy one power from the app and that he will have to fight other people who have superpowers. Although at first glance his chosen power seems weak and ridiculous, with skillful use and clever management he always finds a way to turn the situation to his advantage. After that, he makes new friends who are in the same situation and have a common goal: to discover what is hidden behind that mysterious application.
