The animated show revolves around the life of a young obese child named Masamune Makabe, who plots revenge against his classmate Aki Adagaki after she nicknames him Piggy. He works hard to transform himself into an attractive athlete for vengeance.
In the promo, he can be heard saying, "I must say I can't take that high-calorie food in the morning. Men shall be handsome, if not, they are not humans. I have got a feeling that my plan goes well." He even says that his battle has just begun.
The sneak peek video then features the female protagonist Aki Adagaki, her maid and follower Yoshino Koiwai as well as the secret admirer of the male protagonist Neko Fujinomiya. The video ends with a brief introduction of Makabe's revenge plot.
"I really hate you from the bottom of my heart. For this reason, I'm going to devote my body and soul to make you fall in love with me now. When she gets serious, I will reveal my identity and dumb her in a greatest way. I will call it operation love or die," he says.
