The anime series is based on the manga written by Riichiro Inagaki and illustrated by Ryoichi Ikegami.

Crunchyroll will stream in several countries and territories outside of Japan, describing the synopsis as:
Old schoolmates Haru and Gaku will do anything to achieve success. And success to them means earning a trillion dollars! But to do so, they’ll need to take full advantage of their own unique skills. Haru is a persuasive and confident speaker who can connect with anyone, while Gaku, although awkward, is an expert programmer. Will their combined talents be enough to make their dream a reality?
