Reborn in Tokyo, talentless and unremarkable, I only want to lie flat and live a carefree life—but alas, I'm broke.

Working a job? Absolutely not. I must find a way to live off someone else immediately. Since no mature and beautiful rich woman is willing to support me... then I’ll just find a future rich woman, raise her myself, boost her affection for me, and then monetize that affection into cash!

This is Kuroba Akira’s original philosophy of lying flat:

“Future Sugar Mama Investment and Training Theory.”

As long as I can control the rise and fall of affection levels, and maintain a delicate balance between the "boats" (ahem, girls)... then one day—

I’ll live off soft rice until I die!

Our motto is:

“Lie flat, give up, eat soft rice!”

Breaking news: The long-missing businessman and investor Kuroba Akira has finally been rescued. The main culprits were reportedly several female friends with whom he had ambiguous relationships since his student days.

Let’s take a look at the moment he was rescued:

“Why… Even after I asked you all for so much money, your affection levels didn’t drop… they went up?!”

Thanks to Mr. Kuroba Akira for sacrificing himself to prove two important truths:

1. The stock market of affection is utterly unpredictable.

2. Sooner or later, living off others will come at a price.

3. (Bonus) This novel is a harem—but be warned: the girls are twisted.
