*"Your 'curses' are nothing but 'blessings' to me."* In this modern world, tower-like dungeons known as "Matenrou" have appeared all over the world. Our protagonist, Takamichi Yoshito, is a convenience store clerk who feels miserable, constantly being yelled at by the store manager. Dreaming of making a fortune, Yoshito becomes a "conqueror" of the towers shortly after the skyscrapers appear. However, he has no savings to invest in weapons and equipment, and falls completely behind as a conqueror. Hoping for a sudden turnaround, Yoshito sells all of his real-life savings and the few items he has acquired in the Matenrou to purchase the skill "Infinite Revival" from a shady merchant, which allows for resurrection within the dungeon. However, "Infinite Revival" has a hidden drawback: upon resurrection, a "death penalty" is randomly applied, inflicting a powerful, permanent debuff so severe that even a single resurrection is enough to render him unable to survive as an adventurer. Yoshito despairs over this curse-like skill, but his situation changes when he obtains the rare skill "Reversal" in a hidden room in the dungeon. The skill "Reverse" reversed the severe negative effects of Yoshito's "Death Penalty" permanent debuff caused by "Infinite Resurrection", turning them all into positive effects...!

Unlike his earlier creation, Whimsical Orange Road, Matsumoto Izumi's Sesame Street is more grounded in reality. There is no one with special powers, no mysterious people with questionable pasts, no outrageous plots. In many ways, Sesame Street is more whimsical than Orange Road. This strict adherence to reality is no accident. The author nicknames his work a "Downtown Comedy". The setting for this comic is in the heart of Tokyo, one of Japan's most congested cities. Many of the plots are derived from real life problems common in Japan. For example, half the second volume is about a "Jiageya" who cheats the family out of their home. "Jiageya" literally means "Land Snatcher", a derogatory term for land speculators who cheat people of their land and reap huge profits from the impacted real estate market.

That day, I was going to confess my feelings. I was going to confess my feelings to Tokiwa Nagisa, a kouhai who had confessed her love to me many times. Alone on the rooftop, I was supposed to tell her how I feel and finally become lovers—but I got caught up in a “Confession Quartet,” a game about love and romance. If you fall in love during the game, you are promised “Eternal Love” by the power of magic, but if your love is not fulfilled, it will be as if it never existed in the first place. In other words, you go back to the relationship you had before you fell in love. “I want to cherish the process of love with the person I love, without the guarantee of eternal love.” “If I can’t have eternal love, I’d rather forget this feeling altogether.” In the face of such an ultimate choice, I start to defy this game—
