Stay away! Stay away!
No!
Stop! Stop!
I can't take this anymore!
This is a living hell!
Someone!
Someone!
Anyone!
Anyone... Save me... from this hell!
Well...
Compared to the office, that would be heaven, huh?
Oh no...
I need to sleep, since tomorrow's...
Oh...
Tomorrow...
I got work again...
...tomorrow, huh?
Work...
I don't wanna go...
It happened three years ago...
Here.
Starting today, you're assigned to the Production Department, uh...
Oh, all right.
My name is Akira Tendo. Nice to meet you all!
-Nice to meet you! -Welcome aboard.
On my first day, I got the impression
that it was a lively company with great atmosphere.
Yes! I'm happy to be here!
I landed a job in a production company and industry I'd dreamed about.
I was full of hopes, dreams and ambition.
I'm gonna pump out commercials for all the big players!
Which means maybe I'll even meet some stars!
Wow... I'm gonna do my best.
All right...
You'll be sitting here.
Yes, sir!
If there's anything you don't understand, ask Kosugi, the Department Chief.
Nice to meet you!
Yes! I look forward to working with you!
Thank you for your hard work, sir.
Oh, I'm sorry!
It's all right.
I wasn't looking where I was going...
Oh no! It's my...
Oh, excuse me!
Here!
Thank you.
Sure...
Nice to meet you. I'm Saori Ohtori from accounting.
SAORI OHTORI ACCOUNTING DEPARTMENT
Looking forward to working with you, Tendo.
S-Same... here.
For invoices or if you have any questions, come ask me anytime.
I sit right through there and to the left.
Got it.
Well, good luck on your first day!
She's so cute...
Cheers!
-Thanks for all your hard work! -Yeah!
Bottoms up!
Tendo, where did you go to school?
K University!
Wow, that's a good school!
Oh, it's not really...
Gotta girlfriend?
No, I haven't had any luck...
Huh?
What? A stud like you? What a shame!
Oh no... I'm not...
You can ditch the tie, we're not that kind of office.
Thank you.
But this gets me pumped up.
You look athletic, did you play anything?
Yes! I played rugby all throughout college.
Wow!
Rugby, huh?
-That's great! -Yeah!
Looks like we got a dependable and valuable asset on our team!
I'll say!
Wow. Miss Ohtori's cute, for sure!
She's totally my type!
All right!
I'll work hard and show results and make a good impression on her!
About time we get going, huh?
Yeah.
Umm... Thank you very much for today.
I'm looking forward to tomorr—
All right.
Let's get back to the office.
Huh?
KOSUGI TAKAHASHI
What's going on?
What is this?
Huh?
This can't be normal, right?
How much longer 'til you finish?
-Huh?! Uh, about... -Ten minutes, okay?
An all-nighter my first day...
The next morning...
Still in the office.
Good morning!
Morning.
And that evening...
SOLD OUT
I mean, seriously...
When can I go home?
I'm going out to buy dinner...
It doesn't look like I'll be going home tonight, after all!
Ultimately, I wasn't able to leave the office and go home until two days later.
AKIRA TENDO PRODUCTION DEPARTMENT
Oh... this must be...
...one of those exploitative corporations.
I'm still sleep-deprived.
How long will I be away from home this time?
All of a sudden, I don't want to go to work.
Why am I whining?
This is nothing! Get used to it!
I chose this career!
I worked hard to get it!
Suck it up! Show some backbone!
AKIRA TENDO PRODUCTION DEPARTMENT
Don't underestimate us jocks!
Good morning!
Our company has many employee-friendly policies.
TENDO
Yes, well...
Annual paid vacations, naturally.
But you also get your anniversary day off, and mental health days.
Never seen anyone use them, though.
We encourage each other with good-natured competition.
How much unpaid overtime did you log last month?
150 hours.
Talk to me once you pass 200.
I'm blessed with kind co-workers.
I'll cover dinner.
I might not look it, but it's my fifth year.
I make more than you!
He treated me, but Mr.Takahashi's take home pay is 210,000 yen.
Thank you...
Mr. Kosugi, our department chief...
Don’t come crying to me for everything!
Can't you figure it out on your own?!
What?! You made a decision without me?!
Don't go off on your own!
- Get out! Get out! Get out of here! - He can be moody.
But he's so passionate about mentoring that some employees are moved to tears.
Where do you think you're going, damn it?!
Everyone at the office is very health conscious.
Talk to me when you start pissing blood.
Another day, another ulcer.
And then, in my second year...
When was the last time I took a bath?
No matter what, I'll get the last train tonight.
Tendo!
Yes?
Takahashi's out. So you take over.
Huh?
It's due by the end of the week.
Yes, sir.
YAMAKAWA, TAKAHASHI, SAKAI
Another all-nighter confirmed.
Damn it, useless crap, honestly...
Maybe a missile will come falling down on me...
Here, Tendo!
You worked through lunch again, didn't you?
You have to eat.
Miss Ohtori!
Thank you very much!
The one person keeping me sane at this company...
Miss Ohtori, the one I'd secretly had a crush on...
-Thank you— -Ohtori, got a minute?
Oh, yes!
See you, Tendo!
Hang in there!
Miss Ohtori was also...
Oh...
