While exploring his father's cemetery, primary school boy Totta stumbles upon an odd fishing pole and decides to try it out. He soon realizes the rod can reel in 'bar souls' directly from the barcodes on everyday goods! From instant noodles to sodas and sweets, the Bakutsuri Bar Rod opens a fresh realm of adventure and angling for Totta. Armed with the pole, he also acquires a new sidekick called Potepen—snagged from his potato‑chip pouch—and sets out to capture the most powerful bar souls imaginable in the bustling city and beyond.
