This anime main character is 28 years old woman named Matsukata Hiroko. She's an editor for a magazine called shukan JIDAI and is a total workaholic who will go into a 'working man' mode (working man is a direct translation of 'hataraki man') to get her job done. She is very passionate about her career. However, because of her busy schedule, her life is turning upside down. Her boyfriend of 4 years, 28 years old Yamashiro Shinji were as much as a workaholic as she is. This has created a crisis in their relationship.
This anime portrayed the struggle of a working women and also shows the support of people such as Matsukata's desk-editor and her co-workers as well as her boyfriend. Overall, its an 'ok' anime. The humor is not really there, conflicts aren't that heavy, nothing much about the romance (accept that its clear that Matsukata Hiroko is in a relationship). There is no fantasy depicted unlike the usual anime theme. I would recommend this anime to those who is not a hardcore fan (those who like to watch drama, this would be good). All in all, I didn't regret buying this anime (since I bought it half-price anyway) and I dont dislike it. The message is quite clear and direct to the point.

idk why, it kinda reminds me of hachikuro, you know? like.... how should i put this.. slow-paced? nah, that's not it. i don't know, basically, what i'm trying to say is that i won't be any sudden twist of plot or anything interesting happening, will i? 8D
*sorry i left out a word in there. i meant, i won't be expecting any "surprises" in the series, yes?
yeah, pretty much...the genre is somewhat similar to hachikuro...and there's a hint that she broke up with her bf at the end of the story...
