A slice-of-life comedy and (occasionally) action manga and anime written and illustrated by [[Sorachi Hideaki]]. Which follows the story of a trio of characters who take up odd jobs in the retro futuristic incarnations of Edo.

Notable for its tendency of breaking the [[fourth wall]] as well as frequent jabs on recurring anime tropes.
