Yoshimoto Books published the one-volume manga in 2009. The manga is a work-related drama set in Tokyo in the early 2000s, and centers on Isobe, a fighter for "Ganglion Co, Ltd.," a company plotting world domination. Isobe takes on missions like the "Blow Up Mt. Fuji Operation" or the "Tokyo Cedar Pollen Operation," but is easily defeated each time by Hopeman. Isobe must also deal with his superiors' unreasonable demands.
