A Japanese office lady, Yoshikawa has a pressing deadline at her advertising job. Her coworkers Endо̄ and Murata are convinced they are in a time loop reliving the same week repeatedly. After the successfuly point out the future numerous times, and a few rounds of reliving the same events, Yoshikawa realises they’re telling the truth.They then must first convince the rest of the staff, and then find the solution to stopping the time loop.
Eventually focussing on the bosses jade bracelet, which they believe to be cursed, they destroy it... only to find it is in fact plastic not jade and has no effect.
They then find one of the staff is aware of the time loop that hasn't come forward. She tells that she was aware before anyone else, and she thinks the problem is to do with an unfinished manga which is holding back her life from being fulfilled while she does her mundane job.
The staff all work on the unfinished manga as a team. They have problems convincing the boss, who apparently can't take in information unless it is presented to him in a business presentation. The staff put the information into a powerpoint presentation, which convinces him.
They finally complete it when they find out the boss, who was previously a manga artist also is frustrated and was never able to be a mangaka. He gets involved and finishes it off properly.
Finally the manga is submitted to the editor, who approves it, and the time loop is broken.
