Description
From Entropy:
This is a set of one-shot stories of working people drawn from the viewpoint of Matsukata Hiroko, who is a 28-year-old single woman and is an editor of Weekly Magazine, JIDAI. She’s often at odds with Tanaka Kunio, a novice editor. Her work already stresses her out and he’s unapologetic about his own mistakes! Everyone refers to Hiroko as a masculine woman for how seriously she takes her work. She smokes too much, works too much, and never has sex. However, when it’s time to get a story done, she switches into “Working Man” mode where her testosterone in her blood increases, she works three times her normal speed, and all thoughts of life’s necessities disappear.

| YAY ANOTHER BEAUTY! by xxamayaxx on August 28th, 2008, 5:48pm |

| I love this manga but I love the anime more so I'm reviewing really on that as only a few of the manga chapters have been released but the anime stays pretty faithful. Any way I love this manga I love learning about all the different people who work in the office and I love the strong and true female that the plot centers around. Its unusual for people who actually enjoy office work in this day and age and to see a manga about some one who enjoys their work is refreshing and gives a young out of work girl like me hope that one day I can have a job in which I can be enthused over and really enjoy doing even if its means I have no love life! |

| Interesting in a more subtle way. by rindtron on August 23rd, 2008, 4:33am |

I like it. It's a good reflection (and perhaps slight criticism...?) on the current state of Japan's working society - especially the workaholics and the effect it has on their relationships and social life. A good thing about this manga is that it is that it's realistic. The protagonist shares an understanding with the other charatcers, but it is not all catagorised into a totally "good" or totally "bad" relationship. I can't wait ot see how she deveolops through the story~

really bland and boring.
tried this for 2 chapters i think,and it just didn't seem to make me intrigued,perhaps it's because it's to do with a working woman. |

I thought this was more of a josei then a seinen, i might be wrong though  Anyways, it's pretty good and like any other josei, i quite enjoy the whole working environment and the realistic points of the serie. |

I used to be like the main character before my Big Bad Burnout, so I can appreciate where she's coming from. This is an interesting, wry and often amusing take on what overworking can do to a person. The glimpses into a normal working environment, along with office politics etc., really make this a special read.
