Yani expects a lonely birthday, unaware that Imoko is planning a surprise party for her. Elsewhere, Yani's landlord becomes trapped in a foul time loop.

Yani's peculiar toilet habits spark chaos around her while Imoko receives a gift from a secret admirer who turns out to be anything but ordinary.

Yani's neighbors Yakuneko and Hameneko head to a mystical waterfall — but Hameneko's selfishness drives Yakuneko to hatch a wild revenge plan.

Yani and her flatmates set off on a Kyoto and Nara getaway — but her antics lead to an encounter with the "King of Deer," a creature of ancient wisdom.
