Plot summary
Diane de Monx is an executive at the Volf Corporation, a French company negotiating for the rights to a Japanese animation studio's productions, which will soon include three-dimensional hentai. She sidelines her superior, Karen, and takes charge of the portfolio, along with Karen's business partner, Hervé Le Millinec, and Karen's assistant, Elise. Elise dislikes Diane and interferes with the negotiations whenever she can. Diane flies to Tokyo with Hervé to finalize the purchase, and a flirtation grows between them. Once the rights are secured, Volf looks for a distribution partner and opens talks with an American internet company named Demonlover, represented by Elaine Si Gibril.
