## Plot

[edit]

Set in Kumagaya, Saitama, the series focuses on 33 year-old Asami Kondo and the people with whom she spends her daily life in the city. She works at a town hall and lives with her parents and younger sister. Despite having a normal, dull life, she is relatively satisfied. After getting hit by a truck and meeting her demise, she finds herself in a completely white room containing only a reception desk and two doors. At the desk, she learns that she can choose to either reincarnate as a Giant anteater or restart her current life. Choosing the latter, Asami decides to redo her life and accumulate good deeds so as to reincarnate as a human in the next life.
