It all starts when Gokudou steals a pouch from a fortune teller, thinking that it contains a gem. Instead, it turns out to be a rock, from which emerges Djinn. The genie grants Gokudou the standard three wishes, but our anti-hero does not think heavily about his wishes. Gokudou does get his wishes, though not exactly in the fashion that he expected. The best thing he gets out of his wishes is Honou no Maken, a magical sword that enables its owner to perform fire attacks and it can be summoned from anywhere in the world. Even with an enchanted sword, Gokudou does not get much respect. He gets turned into a woman by Djinn, who is also a shapeshifter. He is followed by Rubette La Lette, a potential love interest who is more interested in adventure, karaoke and outperforming Gokudou. He gets whacked on the head a lot, especially by the fortune teller who reappears throughout the series just to plague Gokudou it seems. Later he is joined by another sidekick, a former evil magician named Prince, who is more handsome and a better womaniser than Gokudou.
