So it's no surprise when the love of his life, Moemi, is not interested in Yota but instead is in love with Yota's best friend, Takashi. Yota turns to a video rental shop for comfort, but little did he suspect that the shop was magical and that the cute girl on his rented tape would pop out of the television and try to fix his ruined love life! Cutting Room Floor Ai is bootlegged to a new tape by the sympathetic old clerk of the Gokuraku Video Shop and is living in Yota's house. As Yota's romance with his first girlfriend, Nobuku, enters its final stages, Video Girl Mai is sent by Ai's creator to edit out Ai's very existence!
