The office romantic comedy centers around the new employee Takuma Shinozaki and Shiori Katase — his short, big-breasted, charming superior at work who cares about her subordinates.
Saisou launched the manga on Takeshobo‘s Storia Dash web manga service in April 2020. Takeshobo will publish the manga’s seventh compiled book volume on August 17.
The manga inspired a television anime that premiered in July 2023. Crunchyroll streamed the anime as it aired in Japan, and also streamed an English dub.
