A 20-something action figure collector named Yuji who owns hundreds of figures still sealed in their original blister packs. Lately, he's been obsessed with obtaining the super-rare "Hellbanker" figure. When Yuji finally tracks Hellbanker down, it turns out to be much more than just a collectible toy. Meanwhile, Yuji's friends are all consumed with different areas of otaku culture and their lives are affected in various ways due to these obsessions. Yuji and his friends are members of the extensive Japanese sub-culture of "otaku" or science-fiction fanatics. Yuji's particular obsession is collecting plastic figures, still inside their blister packages. His goal is to find a mythical figure named "Hellbanker" which is not to be found in any store in Japan. Mixed in with this storyline is a seemingly unrelated subplot set 200 years in the future, after a global environmental disaster, in which two men are fighting over the contents of a mysterious box that can supposedly save the world. How can the two possibly be connected? —Jean-Marc Rocher <rocher@fiberbit.net>
