Akaboshi Tetsu sees an ad for a part-time job as a hero, and thinks it might be fun to be in some kind of hero show. However, he was mistaken--the ad was not for a hero show, but to recruit an actual hero! He passes the interview, and before he knows it, he's gained super powers and the ability to transform into the Red Ranger of the local group of heroes. The other heroes are Keiko (Pink), who seems to fluctuate between being a hot young woman and an old lady, a tough little dog named Cerberus (Green), a guy who looks like an ancient swordsman, Kennosuke (Blue), and the little boy Riki (Yellow) who is shockingly strong. Together, they will defend their town against villains, such as aliens!

Takahashi Kiji is an attractive, popular, student council president, but he and his two closest friends are bored. Kiji comes up with a game, "The Prince Game," in which the three of them can compete. The goal is to bring the worst girl ever to his birthday party in a month. To this end, Kiji begins trying to romance the friendless, round-shouldered, weepy Asahi Mabi, who has just been through a harsh breakup. To his surprise, Mabi does not immediately swoon into his arms. Instead, she seems to be a human being, with her own thoughts and goals, and she is uncomfortably good at seeing through some of his act. Seducing Mabi requires getting to know her, which is dangerous when his intention is for her to end up in tears...

The Japanese National Diet building has somehow been scooped out of the earth, with all the congressmen inside. They don't know where they are, but they still have power and internet, and a small opening to get food and supplies from Earth. Therefore, their needs are taken care of, but they are trapped completely.

Among the congressmen, there are a group of 20-something men who are not generally respected as politicians. These are congressmen who were chosen to improve the image of their parties. Among them are former idols and entertainers (Makise Jin, Yoshizawa Rei), a former comedian (Himei Shougo), a former Olympic figure skater (Ichinose Daiki), an ordinary office worker (Momosawa Kenta), and one young man who really has a passion for politics (Uesugi Ryou). Three weeks into their confinement, they happen upon a young girl who has mysteriously appeared in the building. She remembers nothing of herself, except that her name is Itagaki Taisuke, which is actually the name of a famous historical Japanese politician. Could she really be Itagaki Taisuke reborn, come to help them become better congressmen?

As in the story of Adam and Eve, this world is full of "fruits" of godly knowledge. They allow people to do things that are beyond normal human knowledge, so they are referred to as "Unknown." To use them, one needs to be in a pair, an "Eve" who knows the fruit and can dispense its knowledge, and an "Adam" who can use its power. Ox and Iwan are one such pair, and they're tracking down and gathering all of the other "Unknown," but what is their final goal?

This is what tethysdust said this week:
Shisutomo was actually very interesting, but I get the feeling it might become a bit too much about politics for my taste. Oujisama Game was pretty good (I thought the female lead was great), and it is a complete story in one volume.
Here's what DrCoke had to say:
No comment this week.

My opinion:
Nothing really piqued my interest this week... -___-
