Using the pocket watch he was given by a shady man while trying to find his parents when he was lost downtown, Sakyo Uso can stop and restart time, and uses this amazing power to his advantage when he is taking tests or with girls, but if he stops time for too long, a ghost trapped in the pocket watch will be released from the watch and will consume Sakyo's soul! Luckily, the ghost is lazy and won't leave the stopwatch for 5 minutes. Also, luckily, Sakyo Uso can bargain with the lazy ghost to allow him to stay paused for longer. Good, problem solved, right? Wrong. Umaru Yuta is another problem. Umaru believes that she has a power to randomly stop time but can't do it on command, but in reality, she is the only one unaffected by Sakyo's time stop. It isn't until one faithful day at a new high school that Sakyo and Umaru meet while Sakyo is using the watch for his perverted gain that Umaru decides she hates Sakyo and is upset that he revealed the truth about her power...Or does she?
